Industrial Maintenance Mechanic

Picture this: You arrive at our Hazelton, PA manufacturing facility, scan the production floor, and jump right into action. A line is humming, a VFD alarm catches your ear, and within minutes you’re isolating the issue, reading a schematic, and bringing the line back to life.
