Overview

We are seeking an experienced Multi-Craft Industrial Maintenance Technician to join a premier high-volume industrial packaging and specialty decoration manufacturer. This facility provides high-end, multi-stage branding and finishing solutions for some of the world’s most recognized consumer product labels.

In this role, you will spend your time with tools in hand, serving as a go-to expert for complex troubleshooting across a specialized production environment that includes thermal processing units, high-speed automated printing, robotics, and advanced vision systems. While this is not a formal management position, your extensive technical experience will be highly valued as you lead by example, share knowledge, and collaborate with your fellow technicians to ensure equipment uptime.

Compensation

  • $28 - $34 / hr
  • Ample overtime, if desired

Shift

  • Monday - Friday
  • 1st Shift

Responsibilities

  • Preventive Maintenance Excellence – Execute the PM schedule; ensure all inspections and scheduled services are completed on time, documented accurately, and continuously improved to reduce unplanned downtime.
  • Advanced Troubleshooting – Diagnose and repair complex mechanical, electrical (120V–480V), pneumatic, and control systems.
  • Specialized Equipment Repair – Maintain and service conveyor systems, high-speed printing presses, pallet wrappers, and industrial thermal/gas-fired processing equipment.
  • Robotics & Automation – Support the operation, programming, and troubleshooting of industrial robots (Fanuc/ABB) and servo-driven motion systems.
  • Vision & Inspection Systems – Maintain and calibrate high-precision vision systems (Keyence) and sensors used for quality and alignment.
  • Root Cause Analysis – Participate in efforts to identify recurring equipment failures, implementing long-term corrective actions rather than temporary fixes.
  • Team Support & Mentorship – Lead by example on the shop floor, assisting and sharing your technical expertise with other team members when complex mechanical or electrical issues arise.
  • Inventory & Logistics – Assist with spare parts management and identify critical components to maintain on-hand to ensure rapid repair turnarounds.
  • Safety & Compliance – Enforce all safety protocols (LOTO), maintain a clean and organized shop, and uphold quality standards in a premium manufacturing environment.
