Assist operators with equipment adjustments and changeovers.
Help maintain production flow during busy periods.
Support sanitation and startup activities when needed.
Assist with warehouse or production tasks during periods of low maintenance activity.
Help identify opportunities to improve safety, efficiency, and product quality.

Qualifications

Previous industrial maintenance experience preferred.

Experience in food manufacturing is preferred but not required.
Knowledge of conveyors, motors, bearings, pneumatics, hydraulics, and packaging equipment is a plus.
Ability to troubleshoot equipment independently.
Ability to safely use hand and power tools.
Forklift or scissor lift experience is a plus.

Physical Requirements

Frequently stand, walk, bend, kneel, and climb stairs.
Lift up to 50 pounds regularly.
Work in refrigerated, freezer, and warm production environments.
Ability to work safely around moving machinery while following all company safety procedures.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking someone who:

Takes ownership of problems until they're solved.
Enjoys troubleshooting mechanical challenges.
Works well independently and as part of a team.
Has a positive attitude and a willingness to help wherever needed.
Understands that keeping production running is everyone's responsibility.
Is dependable and takes pride in quality workmanship.

What We Offer

A clean, modern food manufacturing facility.
The opportunity to make a real impact in a fast-growing company.
