KIK Consumer Products
Salem, VA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/15/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/14/2026
Ready to be the reason production never stops?

You like puzzles. Big ones—with conveyors, drives, controls, and packaging lines. At KIK Consumer Products, we make the cleaners and pool-care solutions households trust, and we rely on skilled mechanics to keep high-speed lines humming. If you’re energized by troubleshooting, documenting smart fixes, and making machines better, this role is for you.

Your Mission

On 2nd shift, Monday–Friday (4:00pm - 2:30pm, OT as needed), you’ll own equipment readiness. Imagine walking in, reviewing the production plan, and:

  • Configuring equipment so the scheduled run starts on time and at target rates.
  • Huddling with operators to pinpoint symptoms, then zeroing in on root causes—mechanical, electrical, or motor-related.
  • Executing fast, safe repairs and major overhauls when needed to restore peak performance.
  • Recording changes, referencing manuals, and building a knowledge trail that makes every future setup smoother.
  • Carrying out PMs, proposing design tweaks, and implementing approved modifications.
  • Working by the book—following SOPs, safety protocols, and GMP standards.
  • Backing up teammates across shifts; operating independently and as part of a tight-knit crew.
  • Taking on other duties as assigned as the plant’s needs evolve.

What It Takes

  • 4 years in mechanical maintenance within high-speed packaging/manufacturing; food industry experience strongly preferred.
  • Associate’s in electronics or an Electrical Diploma/Certificate with 3 years’ experience; or 5 years of directly related experience.
  • Skilled communicator who’s detail-focused and customer-oriented.
  • Solid grasp of preventive maintenance methodologies.
  • Flexibility for shift work (days, afternoons, nights) when needed.
  • Strong problem-solver who thrives amid rapid change.
  • Deep knowledge of Health & Safety and Lockout procedures.
  • CMMS familiarity is a plus.

Hands-On Expertise

  • Mechanical Troubleshooting Skills
  • Hydraulics Experience
  • Pneumatics Troubleshooting
  • Maintenance and Repair Skills

Tools of the Trade

  • Conveyor Systems
