Maintenance Planning Trainee

We're adding a new Maintenance Planner (2nd or 3rd shift) to our team to support both the maintenance and process sides of our production operations. This is a great fit for someone with light maintenance or similar hands-on experience who is reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working with minimal supervision during off-shift hours.

This role is not a highly technical, degree-required position — we're looking for someone with strong hands-on problem-solving skills and a genuine interest in learning our equipment and process, not someone who needs to come in as an expert. No specific computer software experience is required.

What You'll Do

• Complete daily, weekly, and monthly preventive maintenance (PM) checklists
• Support maintenance, process, and quality-related tasks to keep production running smoothly
• Monitor and help improve product quality coming off the line, proactively identifying and addressing issues
• Troubleshoot equipment and process issues, using sound problem-solving skills to diagnose root causes and implement fixes
• Apply Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures consistently and safely
• Proactively support and promote a strong safety culture on the floor
• Communicate clearly and respectfully with machine operators
• Work collaboratively with the Maintenance Manager and team, contributing to a positive, team-oriented environment

What We're Looking For

• Experience in a similar role, such as light maintenance, industrial maintenance, or a related hands-on technical position
• A reliable, dependable work ethic — someone who consistently shows up and delivers, day in and day out
• Comfortable working independently on off-shifts with limited direct supervision
• Strong attention to detail
• Solid troubleshooting skills, with the ability to explain how you've diagnosed and resolved problems in the past
• Willingness to build machine and process knowledge across both maintenance and production quality
• A team-first mindset: respectful, even-keeled, high-integrity, and able to assume good intent while seeking to understand others' perspectives
• Openness to working 2nd or 3rd shift

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive Pay and Benefits
• Tuition reimbursement for relevant coursework
• Growth opportunities — this role offers a clear path to develop your skills and advance within the organization
• Voluntary overtime is available
