Lead Maintenance Mechanic

Lead Maintenance Mechanic
Schedule: Day Shift

Summary:
We’re adding a key player to our maintenance team—someone who can roll up their sleeves, lead from the floor, and keep fabrication machinery in top shape. If you’re the kind of person who prefers boots-on-the-ground leadership over desk jockeying, this might be your next stop.

You’ll be responsible for guiding day-to-day maintenance activities, making repairs, coordinating with other departments, and helping build a smarter, more organized maintenance process. You’ll take ownership of equipment reliability, track work through our maintenance software, and be the go-to person for problem-solving on shift.
