Tools & Technology:

• CMMS systems (maintenance tracking & analysis)
• Multimeters and diagnostic tools
• Vibration analysis, thermal imaging, or predictive tools (preferred)
• Data tools (Excel or similar for tracking trends)
• Blueprints, schematics, and technical manuals

What You’ll Be Doing

• Perform root cause analysis (RCA) on equipment failures
• Improve preventive and predictive maintenance programs
• Analyze equipment performance (MTBF, downtime, etc.)
• Work closely with maintenance teams to solve recurring issues
• Troubleshoot mechanical and electrical systems when needed
• Recommend system improvements, upgrades, or process changes
• Help reduce downtime and extend equipment life
• Ensure all work meets OSHA, LOTO, and safety standards

Skills Desired

• 3–5+ years of experience in maintenance, reliability, or engineering
• Strong mechanical and/or electrical troubleshooting skills
• Experience with industrial equipment and production systems
• Ability to analyze problems and implement long-term solutions
• Experience with CMMS or maintenance tracking systems

Bonus If You Have

• Reliability experience (RCA, FMEA, PM optimization)
• PLC or controls experience
• Predictive maintenance tools (vibration, thermography, etc.)
• Engineering background (Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial)
