Industrial Maintenance Mechanic, High-Speed Packaging

TekPro Engineering
Elgin, IL

Job Description

Job Description

Step Into a Day on the Line

You arrive to find a high-speed packaging line calling for attention. A quick check of a VFD, a look over a 480V feed, and a servo axis realignment gets product flowing again. From there, you knock out scheduled PMs, tweak a pneumatic circuit for smoother motion, and partner with production to prevent the next unplanned stop. This role blends quick-hit troubleshooting with proactive maintenance to keep modern equipment running at peak reliability.

About the Opportunity

TekPro is recruiting on behalf of a growing manufacturer investing heavily in equipment and operations. It’s a stable environment with strong earning potential, modern automation, and a clear path for long-term growth.

What You’ll Tackle
  • Diagnose and repair packaging and production assets to cut downtime
  • Execute preventative and predictive maintenance on manufacturing machinery
  • Resolve mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic issues
  • Respond quickly to equipment failures and implement lasting corrective actions
  • Contribute to continuous improvement to boost reliability and throughput
  • Coordinate with operators and production leaders to maintain safe, efficient operations
Your Background
  • 3+ years maintaining equipment in a manufacturing setting
  • Strength in both mechanical and electrical troubleshooting
  • Hands-on experience with conveyors, motors, drives, pumps, and automated systems
  • Ability to read electrical schematics and technical documentation
  • PLC troubleshooting exposure is a plus
  • Background in packaging, consumer products, food, plastics, or other high-speed environments preferred
Tools & Systems You’ll Work With
  • PLC-controlled equipment and automated production lines
  • High-speed packaging machinery and conveyor systems
  • Servo motors and variable frequency drives (VFDs)
  • 120/208/240/480V electrical systems
  • Pneumatic and hydraulic circuits
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Stable company with ongoing growth and reinvestment
  • Competitive pay with overtime opportunities
  • Modern equipment and advanced automation
  • Clear advancement into senior maintenance, controls/automation, or leadership
  • Team-first culture centered on safety, reliability, and continuous improvement
Core Strengths We Value
  • Mechanical troubleshooting
  • Electrical maintenance and repair
  • Preventative and predictive maintenance
  • Equipment reliability focus

If you enjoy solving problems at speed, improving systems, and seeing the immediate impact of your work, this is a place to build your career.
