Maintenance Technician

OverviewWe’re seeking a skilled Multi-Craft Maintenance Technician to support a consumer packaged goods manufacturer operating high-speed filling, bottling, labeling, and packaging lines. The facility runs a mix of modern, sensor-dense, servo-driven automation alongside supporting mechanical systems, requiring technicians who are comfortable working inside electrically and electronically complex equipment.This role is best suited for a technician with a strong electrical and electronics troubleshooting foundation, someone who can confidently diagnose sensor faults, motion issues, control-related failures, and automation-driven downtime. While all multi-craft backgrounds are welcome, hands-on experience with high-speed, automated packaging equipment is highly preferred.You’ll work across electrical distribution, controls, instrumentation, servos, robotics, pneumatics, and supporting mechanical systems to keep production lines running safely and reliably.Compensation$27 - $34 / hrShiftsAll shifts availableRequirementsResponsibilitiesElectrical & Electronics Troubleshooting: Diagnose and repair issues involving sensors, photo-eyes, proximity switches, encoders, VFDs, servos, safety circuits, relays, and control panels across high-speed production lines.Automation & Motion Systems Support: Troubleshoot servo-driven filling, bottling, labeling, cartoning, and packaging equipment; support pick-and-place systems, automated transfers, and palletizing cells.Instrumentation & Vision Systems: Maintain, adjust, and calibrate sensors, level controls, checkweighers, vision inspection systems, and quality-verification devices used for fill accuracy, label placement, and product presence.Mechanical Equipment Maintenance: Support mechanical repairs as needed, including conveyors, gearboxes, pumps, fillers, cappers, and packaging mechanisms that interface with automated systems.Pneumatic Systems: Troubleshoot valves, cylinders, regulators, air manifolds, and air-driven actuators commonly used in filling and packaging machinery.Preventive & Predictive Maintenance: Execute PMs focused on electrical inspections, sensor alignment, cable integrity, motion component health, lubrication, and wear-item replacement to minimize unplanned downtime.Root Cause Analysis: Independently investigate recurring electrical or automation-related issues, identify failure patterns, and implement long-term corrective actions without routine engineering escalation.QualificationsRequiredExperience: 3+ years of hands-on industrial maintenance experience in a manufacturing environmentElectrical & Electronics Skills: Strong troubleshooting capability with 24V–480V systems, sensors, motors, drives, servos, relays, wiring, and control panelsAutomation Exposure: Experience working on automated or semi-automated production equipment utilizing sensors, motion control, and high-speed sequencesSchematics & Documentation: Ability to read electrical prints, wiring diagrams, and control schematicsTroubleshooting Mindset: Independent problem-solver capable of diagnosing issues on the floor and restoring equipment to operation efficientlyPreferredHigh-Speed Packaging Experience: Background supporting filling, bottling, labeling, cartoning, or packaging lines in CPG, food, beverage, or similar industriesControls & PLCs: Allen-Bradley / Rockwell systems (ControlLogix, CompactLogix); PLC I/O and fault diagnostics; minor logic edits a plusRobotics & Motion: Experience with servo-driven systems, pick-and-place units, palletizers, or robotic packaging cellsInstrumentation & Vision: Hands-on experience with inspection cameras, checkweighers, level controls, or other inline quality systemsCMMS: Familiarity with digital maintenance tracking systemsBenefitsMedical, dental, vision401(k) with match
