Electro-Mechanical Maintenance Specialist (Industrial Systems)

Hunter Search Group
Montgomery, IL

Step Into the Heart of Industrial Reliability

As our Electro-Mechanical Maintenance Specialist, you’ll start your day walking the production floor—listening to the hum of motors, feeling the pulse of hydraulic presses, and checking PLC readouts that keep everything synchronized. A machine flags a pressure anomaly? You isolate the issue, trace a 480V 3-phase control circuit, replace a worn component, and bring the line back to full speed. A teammate needs help interpreting a schematic? You coach them through it, reinforcing company policies, procedures, and SOPs along the way.

This is hands-on, multi-craft work—part troubleshooter, part fabricator, part mentor—keeping mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical systems running at their best. You’ll also lend a hand with facilities maintenance when needed, because the whole operation depends on safe, reliable infrastructure.

Overtime Available!

$2,000 sign-on bonus (paid on your 30th day).

What Your Day Looks Like

  • Diagnose and repair mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical manufacturing equipment—including PLC-controlled machinery.
  • Execute troubleshooting, preventive maintenance, and continuous equipment improvements to reduce downtime.
  • Read and apply blueprints, schematics, manufacturer instructions, and service manuals; pitch in with general labor when needed.
  • Enhance existing equipment performance and help design and fabricate new machine solutions.
  • Troubleshoot machine motor control panels (230–480V, 3-phase).
  • Operate forklifts and scissor lifts to relocate equipment and perform elevated maintenance tasks.
  • Service and maintain hydraulic presses within a fast-paced manufacturing setting.
  • Champion safety, keep work areas organized, and complete other duties as assigned.

What You Bring

  • High school diploma or equivalent.
  • 3+ years as a multi-craft industrial maintenance technician (or similar Maintenance Mechanic experience).
  • Solid attention to detail, strong organization, and clear communication—comfortable working independently or as part of a team.
  • Ability to juggle priorities in a production environment.
  • Fluency in reading/interpreting blueprints and schematics; confident using manuals and OEM documentation.
  • Hands-on capabilities in welding, plumbing, carpentry, electrical, and utility systems.
  • Basic computer proficiency for documentation and research.
  • Availability for required overtime.

Physical Expectations

  • Lift up to 50 lbs multiple times per day.
  • Stand for extended periods throughout the shift.

Your Impact

Every repair you make and every improvement you implement directly supports production output, safety, and quality. If you enjoy solving complex electro-mechanical puzzles and elevating team capability through training, this role is built for you.
