The Mechanic diagnoses, corrects, and prevents mechanical and process‑related issues that impact product quality and production performance. The role focuses on true root‑cause analysis across interdependent machine variables, precise setup and alignment, targeted mechanical adjustments, and clear documentation to keep lines running safely, efficiently, and within specification.

Key Responsibilities:

Perform root‑cause diagnosis and corrective action on variables including width, strand thickness, strand width bond, oscillation, edge condition, and weight per square foot. Complete die setups (replace/flip) and verify alignment and setup integrity before releasing to production. Identify, remove, and replace worn or failed mechanical and electrical components; perform basic electrical diagnostics as needed. Evaluate and restore machine calibration and alignment; establish/standardize setpoints and document changes. Support Operators during startups, changeovers, and troubleshooting to maintain stable, compliant production. Partner with Quality to complete sample verification and weight‑per‑square‑foot adjustments before production release. Execute and document preventive maintenance (inspection, lubrication, tightening) and escalate risks to uptime or quality. Follow all safety procedures (including Lockout/Tagout) and maintain an orderly, safe work area.

Skills, Tools & Qualifications:

Mechanical aptitude, troubleshooting complex production equipment. Ability to perform structured root‑cause analysis (e.g., 5‑Why) and document corrective actions. Proficient in reading mechanical drawings/schematics and using precision measurement tools (calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, feeler gauges). Alignment capability using straightedges/squares and mechanical or laser alignment tools. Basic electrical diagnostics (multimeter use, sensor/continuity checks) preferred. Skilled with hand/power tools (torque wrenches, impacts/drills, pullers) and Die maintenance. Preferred experience using CMMS/work‑order systems for documentation and parts tracking. Strong communication, documentation, and cross‑functional teamwork skills; able to assist Operators and Quality. Prior machine maintenance experience required; industrial/manufacturing environment preferred. High school diploma or GED required; technical/vocational training preferred. Knowledge of safety practices and Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures. practices.
