What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mechanical Maintenance Technician position at Laborup?
Overview
We are seeking a highly capable Mechanical Maintenance Technician to join our team in a clean, modern, and automation-heavy industrial environment.
If you have a true "fix-anything" mentality and a relentless troubleshooting mindset, we want to hear from you. You do not need prior industrial manufacturing or factory maintenance experience to be successful in this role. We actively welcome candidates with strong mechanical aptitudes from diverse trade backgrounds, including automotive repair, HVAC, heavy equipment mechanic work, diesel mechanics, and more. If you inherently understand how mechanical things work and know how to wrench on them, diagnose them, and fix them, you will thrive here.
Operating within a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, this role offers an exceptional and highly predictable schedule: you will work just 3.5 night shifts per week, leaving you with 3.5 days to yourself. You will be expected to execute complex mechanical tasks independently while also serving as a collaborative teammate and mentor.
