Electro-Mechanical Packaging Maintenance Technician

Electro-Mechanical Packaging Maintenance Technician

Hiring now for a full-time technician to keep high-speed packaging lines running safely and smoothly. $2,000 sign-on bonus paid at 30 days. Overtime available.

If you thrive in a manufacturing plant, this role puts you at the heart of uptime—diagnosing issues across electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems while championing safety and preventive maintenance.

A day in the life

You start by reviewing job assignments, PM sheets, and wiring diagrams. A line calls in a fault—the conveyor trips a breaker. You trace schematics, isolate the issue, swap a gearbox and bearing, and dial in final adjustments. Later, you partner with operators on a changeover, simplify the setup steps, and document improvements. Before shift-end, you support the supervisor across production lines, attend a quick project meeting, and line up tomorrow’s work orders.

What you’ll own

• Troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair breakdowns spanning mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic components.
• Disassemble equipment; rebuild/replace motors, gearboxes, clutches, bearings, electrical assemblies; reassemble and fine‑tune performance.
• Execute and improve changeovers; set up fill lines for production runs; assist line workers during transitions.
• Repair machinery and facilities-support equipment; install new or refurbished parts.
• Adhere to and promote all safety policies and PPE requirements.
• Assist the supervisor with the operation of all production lines.
• Communicate effectively with operators and senior management alike; contribute to special projects and meetings.
