What are the responsibilities and job description for the Multicraft Industrial Maintenance Technologist (HVAC, Hydraulics & Pneumatics) position at Freudenberg Group?
Is this you?
A winding line shows rising amp draw and a slight temperature increase on a gearbox. You review historical CMMS data, perform an on-the-spot vibration and alignment check, and correct a lubrication issue—averting a shutdown and protecting a critical-to-quality parameter. That’s the kind of impact you’ll make here, every day.
- Do you read machine status lights and operator comments like a second language—and act before small signals become big failures?
- Are you comfortable jumping from an extruder heater to a chiller, then over to a compressor or blower without missing a beat?
- Does precision alignment, proper lubrication, and dynamic balancing feel like your reliability toolkit?
- Do you enjoy collaborating with electrical, process, and reliability partners to decide what gets fixed, when, and why?
- Diagnose and prevent equipment issues by blending operator feedback, machine indications, and sound technical judgment.
- Service and improve process equipment: blowers, chillers, compressors, boilers, pneumatic/hydraulic systems, industrial HVAC, extruders, heaters, dehumidifiers, web conveyance, winding, and slitting systems.
- Execute reliability best practices on rotating assets through lubrication excellence, precision alignment, balancing, and routine condition checks.
- Use Root Cause Analysis to correct systemic issues and strengthen the CMMS-driven maintenance management system.
- Support ISO/TS quality management expectations by maintaining high equipment standards and providing feedback that protects CTQ processes.
- Oversee utilities health: steam, compressed air, chilled water, cooling towers, exhaust fans, and related subsystems.
- Team with engineering on equipment design, installs, startups/shutdowns, and scheduled maintenance following US and Freudenberg safety procedures and standards.
- Model clean, organized work with strong workmanship and 5S discipline.
- Share on-call responsibilities to support a 24/7 manufacturing environment and assist when urgent issues arise.
- Train fellow maintenance pros to elevate safety and reliability across the team.
- Two-year technical degree in Industrial Systems (or similar) preferred; relevant experience considered. PLC, Hydraulics, or Pneumatics certificates are advantageous.
- 0–5 years in an industrial setting; background in extrusion, plastics, and web handling/winding is a plus.
- Experience using a CMMS for PM tracking and corrective requests preferred.
- Pipefitting, sheet metal, and welding exposure welcome.
- Strong written and verbal communication; able to partner across diverse technical levels.
- Flexibility for overtime or irregular hours to support 24/7 operations; able to join an on-call rotation.
- Capable of obtaining Powered Industrial Truck and Aerial Lift certifications on site.
- Preventive maintenance planning and execution
- Heavy equipment repair
- 120/208/240/480 V power systems
- Electrical troubleshooting and repair
- OSHA 10-Hour (OSHA 10)
- Relay testing
- HVAC maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair
- Pneumatic systems troubleshooting
- Powerhouse troubleshooting
- Boiler troubleshooting and repair
- Broad maintenance and repair capability
- Industrial electrical systems experience
- EHS and workplace safety practices
- Equipment diagnostics and troubleshooting
- Spindle maintenance and repair
- Machine safety inspections
