Be the go-to problem solver when the plant is humming Join a growing manufacturing operation in Hammond, Indiana, and own the health of our production assets overnight. As an Industrial Maintenance Mechanic, you'll keep equipment reliable, production moving, and teammates safe on a third-shift schedule. Initial training occurs on first shift during onboarding, and you'll have company-provided tools plus a stable environment with long-term growth opportunities. A night in this role You arrive, review the maintenance log, and prioritize calls. A conveyor is down—you isolate power, follow LOTO, and trace the fault to a failed contactor. Later, you swap a pump seal, interpret an Allen‑Bradley PLC alarm, and verify a VFD parameter change with your meter. Before the shift ends, you complete PMs, document work performed, and flag a gearbox vibration trend for predictive follow-up. You leave the line running smoothly for the day crew. What you'll take on Troubleshoot, repair, and sustain industrial production machinery Execute preventive and predictive maintenance plans Diagnose mechanical systems: conveyors, mixers, pumps, gearboxes, bearings, hydraulics, and pneumatics Work on electrical systems up to 480
