At Home Run Inn, great pizza doesn't just happen.

It takes hardworking people, reliable equipment, and a team that knows how to keep things moving. Behind every pizza we make is a crew of people who take pride in doing things the right way—and our Maintenance team plays a huge role in making that possible.

That's where you come in.

We're looking for an experienced Maintenance Technician to join our Woodridge Frozen Plant on 2nd shift. You'll help keep our production equipment, packaging machinery, and facility systems running safely and efficiently.

If you're someone who enjoys troubleshooting, fixing what's broken, preventing problems before they happen, and taking pride in keeping a busy operation moving, we'd love to have you on the team.

You'll be one of the people behind the scenes making sure our pizza-making operation keeps hitting it out of the park.

• Perform routine, preventative, predictive, and emergency maintenance on production and facility equipment.
• Inspect, troubleshoot, repair, and maintain production equipment and packaging machinery.

• Respond quickly to equipment breakdowns and maintenance calls during production.
• Disassemble, rebuild, repair, and replace defective parts and components as needed.

Put Safety First

• Follow all safety, GMP, food safety, and lockout/tagout procedures.
• Maintain a clean and organized work area.
• Support a culture where safety is everyone's responsibility.
• Partner with Production, Sanitation, and Quality teams to ensure equipment is operating safely and effectively.

You're Probably a Great Fit If You...

• Like figuring out how things work—and how to fix them when they don't.
• Enjoy troubleshooting and solving problems under pressure.
• Take pride in doing quality work the right way.
• Can work independently but know when to call in a teammate.
• Stay calm when equipment goes down and know how to get to the root of the problem.
• Like working with your hands and aren't afraid to get into the details.
• Understand that keeping equipment running is a big part of keeping our people and our pizza moving.

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years of related maintenance experience with strong electrical and mechanical aptitude.
• 3+ years of experience troubleshooting industrial electrical control systems down to the component level.
• Strong understanding of high- and low-voltage electrical systems.
• Experience with mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems.

• Ability to use a variety of maintenance tools and a personal computer.
• Ability to lift up to 60 pounds and regularly stand, bend, twist, and stoop.
