Multicraft Industrial Maintenance Mechanic

About the Role

Report to the Maintenance Supervisor and keep a fast-paced production environment running safely and efficiently. In this multicraft mechanic role, you will diagnose issues across mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, plumbing, and relay logic systems; complete preventive work; jump on breakdowns; and help rebuild and install equipment. You’ll also document your work, support root-cause investigations, and mentor newer mechanics.

A Day in the Life

• Begin with safety: follow plant policies and lockout/tagout procedures before touching any asset.
• Review open work orders, tackle preventive and corrective jobs, and coordinate with Production to minimize downtime.
• Respond to unplanned stops, rapidly troubleshoot issues, replace components, and verify safe return to service.
• Partner with Maintenance and Operations to pinpoint recurring failures and contribute to corrective actions using root cause analysis tools.
• Support rebuilds, installs, and modifications assigned by the Maintenance Supervisor.
• Record parts usage, findings, and actions taken; keep maintenance notes accurate and complete.
• Share know-how with less experienced teammates and help build a positive, solutions-focused atmosphere.

What You’ll Do

• Troubleshoot, repair, adjust, and replace components across mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, plumbing, and relay logic systems.
• Restore production during breakdowns safely and efficiently.
• Carry out routine, preventive, and corrective maintenance on production and facility equipment.
• Assist with equipment rebuilds, installations, and upgrades per Maintenance Supervisor direction.
• Provide day-to-day technical support for problem analysis and equipment failures.
• Maintain thorough documentation: work orders, parts consumed, and detailed maintenance notes.
• Help train and mentor newer mechanics; collaborate respectfully with associates, support teams, and management.
• Perform other tasks as assigned by the Maintenance Supervisor.

Education

• 2-year technical degree in a maintenance field or at least 2 years of maintenance experience.
• Preferred: technical or associate degree (industrial maintenance, mechanical, electrical, or related) or equivalent trade training.
• Equivalent combinations of education and hands-on experience considered.

Knowledge & Skills

• Basic math (add, subtract, multiply, divide) and accurate measurement-taking.
• Work independently to troubleshoot problems and follow written instructions.
• Read electrical schematics/diagrams; understand and troubleshoot mechanical machinery.
• Willingness to work overtime and weekends as needed.
• Clear written and verbal communication with internal partners and suppliers.
• Working knowledge of bearings, bushings, gear boxes, fixed/variable power transmission, pump seals, clutches, brakes, manual/automatic control valves, motors, couplings, hydraulics, pneumatics, pumps, VFDs, transducers, solenoids, relays, motor starters, switches (flow, photo, proximity, level, pressure, etc.), encoders, tachometers, AC/DC drive controls, pipe/tubing/fittings, circuit boards, PLCs, transmitters, machining, welding, and fabrication.
• Set up and operate shop equipment and portable power tools safely.
