THE OPPORTUNITY

What if your next maintenance role put you at the center of cutting-edge food-processing technology—not just maintaining equipment, but helping customers develop what comes next? A global leader in food-processing and milling technology is seeking a Maintenance Engineer to join its Food Application Center in Plymouth, WI.

One week could involve specialty milling; the next could bring an entirely different application. You'll have the opportunity to work alongside engineering and gain exposure to advanced machinery, automation, PLCs, milling, extrusion, and food-processing technology. The organization has a long-standing history of innovation and more than 140 years of industry experience , while continuing to work with modern food-processing technology.
