Description

🌟 Maintenance Technician (Apprentice) – Join Our Fix-It Dream Team! 🌟

Are you the kind of person who can’t walk past a machine without wanting to know how it works? Do you get a thrill from solving problems, keeping things running smoothly, and being the hero who saves the day when equipment misbehaves? If so… we’d love to meet you!

As a Maintenance Technician (Apprentice), you’ll be part of the crew that keeps our manufacturing world spinning. Your mission (and yes, you’ll want to accept it): keep our equipment running like a champ, minimize downtime, and ensure our facility stays in peak working condition.

• Jump into action with emergency repairs and troubleshoot electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic issues.
• Keep machinery, equipment, and building systems in tip-top shape so production never skips a beat.
• Rock your preventive maintenance routines—stopping problems before they start.
• Help maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area (we like shiny floors and tidy toolboxes!).
• Read and interpret manuals, work orders, blueprints, and schematics like the technical wizard you are.
• Install, move, and calibrate machines (think of it as high-tech Tetris).
• Escort and oversee visiting service providers—no red carpet, but close.
• Assist with building repairs, improvements, and those “hey, can you fix this?” moments.
• Follow all safety rules, quality standards, and operational procedures.
• Reduce waste, improve efficiency, and keep things humming.
• Operate overhead hoists and forklifts (don’t worry—we’ll help you get certified!).
• Bring a self-starter, can-do attitude that lifts the whole team.
  
  

✨ What Makes You a Great Fit

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• 3–5 years of hands-on maintenance experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Strong troubleshooting and repair skills, including hydraulic/electric presses; injection molding experience is a plus.
• Electrical certification, formal training, or journeyman’s license earns bonus points!
• Solid communication skills—written and verbal.
• Ability to read and interpret technical manuals, blueprints, and schematics.
• Basic math skills (yes, fractions included!).
• Strong reasoning and problem-solving abilities—you know when to power through and when to ask for help.
