Every day, millions of people see the printed products Quad manufactures across North America. Behind those products are the specialized inks and resins produced at our Chemical Research & Technology (CR/T) facility in Hartford.

Unlike a traditional manufacturing or printing environment, the CR/T facility manufactures the specialty chemical products that help power Quad's nationwide printing operations. This is a unique opportunity to work in a specialized industrial setting where maintenance professionals play a critical role in supporting safe, reliable, and efficient production.

Position Summary

Quad is seeking an experienced Industrial Maintenance Mechanic to join our CR/T team in Hartford, Wisconsin.

In this role, you'll troubleshoot, repair, install, and maintain the mechanical equipment used in our chemical manufacturing processes. Working with pumps, motors, conveyors, pneumatic systems, and other industrial equipment, you'll help maximize equipment reliability while supporting a safe and efficient manufacturing operation.

What You'll Do

  • Troubleshoot, repair, and maintain chemical processing and manufacturing equipment.
  • Maintain pumps, motors, conveyors, gearboxes, augers, pneumatic systems, and other industrial machinery.
  • Perform preventive and predictive maintenance to improve equipment reliability and reduce downtime.
  • Install new equipment and support facility improvement projects.
  • Read and interpret blueprints, equipment manuals, and technical drawings.
  • Partner with operations personnel to maintain safe and efficient production.
  • Follow lockout/tagout procedures and all company safety standards.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.

What We're Looking For

  • Associate's degree in a related field or five or more years of industrial mechanical maintenance experience.
  • Experience rebuilding rotary vane pumps.
  • Strong skills in pipe fitting, hydraulics, pneumatics, welding, and blueprint reading.
  • Familiarity with metric measurements and mechanical tolerances.
  • Basic understanding of industrial electrical theory and safe work practices.
  • Ability to work at heights and safely operate high-lift equipment.
  • Must have, or be willing to acquire, basic hand tools.
  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and stand for extended periods.
  • Ability to perform repetitive hand and wrist movements.
  • Previous experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment is preferred.
  • Experience with ink, resin, or chemical processing equipment is a plus.

Why Quad CR/T?

At Quad's Chemical Research & Technology facility, you'll do more than maintain equipment—you'll help produce the specialized materials that support printing operations across the country. We invest in our employees by providing opportunities to expand their technical skills, work with specialized manufacturing equipment, and build long-term careers in an innovative industrial environment.

You'll Enjoy

  • Monday–Friday schedule with overtime opportunities as business needs require.
  • Stable, year-round employment in a specialized manufacturing environment.
  • Opportunities to work with a wide variety of industrial mechanical systems.
  • Career growth and technical development.
  • A collaborative culture focused on safety, innovation, and continuous improvement.

Compensation is based on experience, skills, qualifications, and other job-related factors.
