Position Type: Full TimeMaintenance Technician — Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry (WAF)
Location: 838 S. 16th Street, Manitowoc, WI 54220
Schedule: 1st shift: Monday – Friday, 6 am – 2 pm
If you’d rather fix the root cause than swap parts and hope — you’ll fit in here.
As a WAF employee, you will enjoy the benefits of:
- Competitive pay ($30-$40/hr) + weekly pay
- Overtime opportunities
- Health, dental, vision, and other insurances are available

What you'll be wrenching on and troubleshooting:

- Hydraulic & pneumatic: Circuit diagnosis, seal & valve work
- Motors & VFDs: Electrical troubleshooting, drive configuration
- Conveyors & sand systems: Mechanical & structural rebuilds
- Preventative maintenance: PM schedules, inspections, documentation
- Breakdown response: Fast diagnosis, root cause — not part-swapping
We want someone who can read a schematic, trace a fault to the source, and leave it better than they found it. If your instinct is to understand the problem before reaching for a part — you'll fit here.
What you need to succeed:
- 2+ years industrial maintenance — foundry, manufacturing, or heavy equipment
- Hands-on electrical troubleshooting: motors, controls, VFDs
- Hydraulic and pneumatic system diagnosis
- Comfortable reading schematics and wiring diagrams
- Comfortable working in heat, tight spaces, and a physically active environment
- Team-first — you take pride in the shift running clean
If you're a hands-on technician who takes pride in solving problems the right way — apply today!
