Industrial Maintenance Mechanic

MTE Hydraulics
Rockford, IL

Step into the heart of our plant as an Industrial Maintenance Mechanic

When production kicks off, you’re the steady hand that keeps the line running. You start your day reviewing the maintenance log, prioritizing a conveyor fault, a hydraulic leak check, and a scheduled PM on a press. By mid-morning, you’ve traced an electrical issue from a sensor back through a control circuit using a schematic, replaced a worn component, and documented the fix. After lunch, you team up with Production to complete an equipment changeover, install an upgrade kit, and recommend a small improvement that shaves minutes off a cycle. Before the shift wraps, you close out work orders, update records, and walk the floor for safety checks—because uptime, reliability, and safety are the game.

What you’ll do

  • Diagnose, troubleshoot, and repair production machinery and auxiliary equipment.
  • Execute preventive and routine maintenance on machines, building systems, and support utilities.
  • Read and apply mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic schematics and blueprints.
  • Maintain accurate documentation, work orders, and maintenance records.
  • Partner with production teams to reduce downtime and boost throughput.
  • Support installations, equipment upgrades, and continuous improvement activities.
  • Adhere to all safety procedures and company policies, every task, every time.

What you’ll bring

  • 2+ years of maintenance experience in a manufacturing environment.
  • Hands-on machine repair background; strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting ability.
  • Exposure to hydraulics and pneumatics (both are a plus).
  • Automotive maintenance experience is welcomed and valued.
  • Ability to interpret blueprints, schematics, and technical manuals.
  • Sharp problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset.
  • Comfort working both independently and as part of a team.

Preferred

  • Welding and fabrication experience.
  • Familiarity with Fanuc controls (CNC/robot) is desirable.

How we support you

  • Competitive pay based on experience.
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Paid time off and holidays.
  • 401(k) with company match.
  • Clear opportunities for growth and advancement.

Proficiencies that set you up for success

  • Pneumatics troubleshooting
  • Maintenance and repair skills
  • Hydraulic systems and components
  • Mechanical systems and component repair
  • Machine safety inspections
