A day in the life

At 7:00 a.m., you walk the floor and start with safety: lockout/tagout checks, a scan of active work orders, and a quick touch-base with operators. Before lunch, you’ve interpreted an electrical schematic to isolate a fault on a CNC, swapped a hydraulic valve after tracing pressure loss on a hydraulic circuit, and aligned a new conveyor during a relocation. The afternoon sees you updating PM records, reading mechanical prints to prep a rebuild, and mentoring teammates on safe troubleshooting practices. You go home knowing the shop runs smoother tomorrow because of the groundwork you laid today.

What you’ll take on

• Champion safety for yourself, teammates, contractors, and customers; follow company procedures and report hazards.
• Keep work areas orderly and aligned with preventive maintenance best practices.
• Read and create wiring diagrams, schematics, and layouts to diagnose issues quickly.
• Lead the installation, removal, and relocation of equipment and supporting utilities.
• Interpret and troubleshoot hydraulic and pneumatic schematics to determine repair needs.
• Apply Lock Out/Tag Out every time service work is performed.
• Tackle additional assignments with craftsmanship and urgency.

• 3+ years in manufacturing maintaining mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems.
• 3+ years servicing CNC and manual machine tools; high school diploma, trade school certification, or GED preferred.

• 2+ years reading blueprints, mechanical prints, electrical schematics, and wiring diagrams.
• Experience using micrometers, gages, meters, calipers, and related precision tools.

Core strengths

• Hands-on mechanical aptitude and technical acumen with an eye for safety and continuous improvement.
• Self-directed while contributing positively to a collaborative team.
• Clear verbal and written communication; proficient in speaking and reading English.
