Job Description

Mission

To ensure the reliability, safety, and performance of a high-volume manufacturing facility by maintaining and improving critical production systems. This role exists to prevent downtime, protect product quality, and sustain operational excellence in a fast-paced food production environment.

The Maintenance Technician is not simply repairing equipment. This role safeguards throughput, supports production teams, and strengthens plant performance through disciplined troubleshooting and preventative maintenance.

Performance Objectives (What Success Looks Like)
  • Maximize Equipment Uptime
    Diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical, and PLC-controlled systems to minimize unplanned downtime across pumps, valves, conveyors, gearboxes, and related equipment.

  • Execute Preventative Maintenance with Precision
    Complete scheduled PM work orders through CMMS (SAP preferred), ensuring calibration, inspection, and documentation meet compliance standards.

  • Lead Electrical & Automation Troubleshooting
    Troubleshoot and repair three-phase (480V/220V) systems, industrial controls, and Allen Bradley PLC/SLC programs to restore safe and efficient operations.

  • Strengthen Instrumentation & Controls Reliability
    Calibrate plant instrumentation across various makes and specifications; update or reconstruct existing PLC programs when necessary.

  • Maintain Safety & Compliance Standards
    Operate within GMP guidelines, adhere to PPE requirements, and safely handle hazardous materials in high-noise and temperature-variable environments.

  • Support 24/7 Operational Readiness
    Communicate effectively across production and maintenance teams to ensure seamless shift transitions and rapid response to issues.

Ideal Fit Traits
  • Mechanical and electrical systems thinker

  • Independent decision-maker under pressure

  • Strong troubleshooting mindset

  • Detail-oriented with compliance discipline

  • Team-oriented communicator across departments

  • Comfortable working in physically demanding industrial environments

  • Mission-first contributor who supports production continuity

Why This Role Matters

This position directly impacts plant safety, productivity, and long-term operational success. Every repair completed correctly protects the integrity of the production line and supports a team that feeds families across the country.

If you are a technician who takes ownership beyond the work order and believes equipment reliability is a mission—not a task—this role aligns with that purpose.

Requirements

Experience
  • Must have served in the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Space Force, U.S. Reserves, or U.S. National Guard.

  • CAD drawing interpretation

  • Preventative maintenance documentation

Education

Physical & Environmental Requirements

  • Work overhead, kneeling, crawling, and in confined spaces

  • Operate in high-noise and temperature-variable environments

  • Work around chemical fumes and industrial hazards

  • 24/7 manufacturing environment (days, nights, weekends, holidays, rotating shifts)
