Our products keep homes lit, schools running, and businesses moving forward across the country. We take pride in a culture where people roll up their sleeves, work together, and keep safety and quality at the heart of everything we do.

About the Role:

We’re looking for a hands-on Multi-Craft Maintenance Technician to be a go-to problem solver for our production equipment and facility systems. If you enjoy fixing things, staying busy, and learning new skills every day, this is your chance to grow in a fast-paced manufacturing environment where your work directly impacts production. From keeping machines running smoothly to supporting big improvement projects, you’ll be part of a team that values your expertise, your ideas, and your commitment to doing the job right.

What You’ll Do:

As our Multi-Craft Maintenance Technician, you’ll be the go-to for keeping our equipment and facility in top shape. You’ll:

• Stay ahead of downtime by performing preventive maintenance and routine inspections on production machinery.
• Troubleshoot like a pro when mechanical or electrical issues pop up, getting equipment back online quickly.
• Get hands-on with motors, bearings, belts, pulleys — installing, aligning, replacing, and fine-tuning them for peak performance.
• Tackle electrical basics like wiring tasks, swapping out lighting fixtures, and replacing electrical components.
• Pitch in plant-wide by supporting 5S, safety practices, and continuous improvement projects that make work better for everyone.
• Keep things documented — accurately recording maintenance work and sharing updates so the team is always in the loop.

What You Bring:

You don’t need to check every single box — if you’ve got the drive to learn and a solid maintenance foundation, we want to hear from you. Ideally, you’ll bring:

• Hands-on know-how — 1–3 years of maintenance experience in a manufacturing or industrial setting.
• Mechanical and electrical basics — you’re comfortable with hand/power tools, mechanical systems, and electrical safety.
• A knack for problem-solving — you can read manuals, diagrams, and schematics to troubleshoot effectively.
• Physical readiness — you can lift up to 50 lbs., work on ladders, and navigate a busy production floor.
• A continuous improvement mindset — familiar with (or excited to learn about) 5S, Kaizen, and Lean practices.

Bonus Skills (Not Required):

• Prior experience in manufacturing.
• Exposure to electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic systems.
• Knowledge of variable frequency drives (VFDs) or basic PLC troubleshooting.

Requirements:

• High School Diploma or GED required.
• Ability to work a full-time 1st shift schedule, including overtime or weekend coverage as needed.
• Must be able to lift up to 50 lbs. unassisted.

Physical and Environmental Requirements 

• Lifting: Able to lift 50 pounds unassisted. 

• Environment: Work in a facility with loud noise, extreme temperatures, and environmental stressors. 

• Physical Activities: Sit, stand, walk, bend, climb, crouch, reach, and grasp as needed. 

• PPE: Wear the required PPE, including eye and hearing protection, gloves, and safety toe footwear. 

• Dexterity and Vision: Manual dexterity and specific vision abilities (close, distance, color, peripheral, depth perception, and focus adjustment). 

• Stamina: Stand for long shifts. 

• Skills: Effective communication, basic math skills, and teamwork. 

• Safety: Adhere to safety protocols and address hazards. 

 Benefits:

• Competitive, comprehensive package including Medical, Dental, Life Insurance, 401(k), Retirement Plan, and more.
• Company-paid health and dental coverage for employees — we invest in your well-being.
• Opportunities to grow your skills, advance your career, and receive hands-on training.
