Maintenance Technician

Veteran Hiring Solutions
Indianapolis, IN Intern
POSTED ON 4/21/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/20/2026
About the Role

You kept equipment running in demanding environments. Now put those skills to work on the civilian side.

This hands-on multicraft role is a natural fit for veterans with mechanical aptitude, a mission-first mindset, and the discipline to keep a production floor running at full tempo. The work is roughly 75% mechanical with a meaningful electrical and electronic controls component, supporting a plastics manufacturing facility that runs hard and takes care of its people.

A veteran placed in this role six months ago has already proven himself and moved to 1st shift. We're looking for his replacement.

What You'll Do
  • Perform preventative maintenance, repairs, and troubleshooting on all facility equipment
  • Respond to production line breakdowns and restore operations with urgency
  • Document completed work including logs, data reports, and maintenance procedures
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with production, warehouse, and quality teams on maintenance needs
  • Maintain shop organization, parts inventory, and full compliance with safety regulations
Why This Role

A family-run plastics manufacturer with strong community roots and a culture where people come to work and stay. Good pay, job security, and a clear path for advancement — the last veteran hired into this seat is proof of concept. If you want to be part of a tight team that takes care of its own, this is your shot.
