Let’s be real — great work deserves great rewards. As a Maintenance Mechanic here, you’ll get more than just a paycheck. You’ll enjoy a competitive compensation package, medical, dental, and vision insurance, and a 401(k) with company match to build your future. You’ll also receive paid time off, holiday pay, company-paid life insurance and short-term disability, plus tuition reimbursement and a boot voucher—because we believe in taking care of the people who take care of our equipment.
We’re a rail manufacturing company that’s been growing strong for more than 65 years, and we’re proud of what we’ve built—teams that deliver what matters. Now, we’re looking for a Maintenance Mechanic who’s ready to jump in, take ownership, and keep things running like clockwork. If you’re a self-starter who loves a challenge, can handle a fast-paced environment, and takes pride in solving problems before they slow anyone down, this might be your next big opportunity.
This is a hands-on, full-time, onsite role in Granite City, IL—both indoors and outdoors—where no two days are the same. You’ll troubleshoot and repair everything from 480V 3-phase systems and PLCs to conveyors, hydraulics, and pneumatics. You’ll put your experience in fabrication and welding to work, perform preventive maintenance, and make sure production keeps moving smoothly. Around here, teamwork and initiative go hand in hand—you’ll have support when you need it, but plenty of room to take the lead when you don’t.
Requirements
What You’ll Bring to the Team:
You’ll work Monday through Friday, 7:30AM to 4:30PM, and yes—you’ll sometimes be outdoors in all kinds of weather. But the tools are provided, the team’s got your back, and the results you deliver will be noticed and appreciated.
If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves, lead by example, and grow with a company that values initiative, teamwork, and hard work, we’d love to meet you. Click to complete our quick 3-minute application—we’ll be in touch within 24–48 hours.
Join us as our next Maintenance Mechanic and help us keep delivering what matters every single day.
