Pay Range:

$32-$35/hr (multi-craft maintenance) A day in this role As the plant moves into its evening production run, you're the go-to expert keeping conveyors, motors, and automation cells in sync. You'll start with a quick walk-through of key lines, listening for unusual vibration, spotting a belt that needs tension, and lining up in-process PMs so the team can hit its quota without stopping the line. A call comes in from an outside hopper feed: you harness up, head to the elevated platform, and safely restore flow to the mill. Back inside, you connect to an Allen‑Bradley PLC to verify I/O, adjust a VFD parameter, and coordinate with a newer production team to maximize uptime. What you'll work on Diagnose and resolve issues on industrial equipment, with a strong emphasis on conveyor systems and automation. Comfortably interface around PLCs (Allen‑Bradley), VFDs, and Fanuc robots; support troubleshooting and minor adjustments. Perform mechanical repairs on gearboxes, motors, and belt drives to keep assets running reliably. Execute working PMs during longer production runs to minimize downtime and sustain output targets. Support outdoor equipment—about 25% of the job involves working at heights on outside conveyors, motors, and hoppers. Work environment Industrial, "barn-like" setting that's well ventilated and fairly clean. Dry food production—expect a mostly dusty environment; no oil or liquids on the floor. Operations are FDA regulated, with cleanliness standards consistently maintained. What helps you succeed Hands-on industrial troubleshooting experience (electrical and mechanical). Background with conveyors, automation equipment, PLCs (AB), VFDs, and Fanuc robots. Ability to work safely at heights and outdoors. Strong collaboration with a growing production team and a focus on uptime.
