As a Maintenance Technician, you keep our sites running at peak performance through expert troubleshooting, disciplined preventive maintenance, and a proactive mindset that catches problems before they ever cause downtime. You take pride in doing the job right the first time, every time.

    • Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic systems hands-on
    • Proactive mindset — you surface issues before they escalate and prioritize prevention over reaction
    • Strong documentation habits — you close work orders and update logs accurately every time
    • Comfortable using hand and power tools safely and accurately
    • Reliable and responsive — available for on-call and after-hours emergencies
    • Willingness to travel between sites as needed
    • Experience with 3-phase motors, PLCs, VFDs, or relay logic is a strong plus
    • CMMS background is a plus

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Keep the operation running - Perform mechanical and electrical repairs, replace defective parts, align components, and use hand and power tools with precision and safety.
  • Prevent before you repair - Execute preventive maintenance proactively — you anticipate failure points before they become outages. Reactive-only isn't good enough here.
  • Troubleshoot with curiosity - Apply systematic problem-solving to electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems. You understand how things work — and you use that understanding to find better solutions.
  • Document everything - Close out work orders, update CMMS logs accurately, and red-line drawings. Your documentation protects the sites after you leave.
  • Elevate the team - Train site staff on proper operation, preventive maintenance, and repair techniques. You share what you know.
  • Support site launches - Assist with new site installations and equipment launches for smooth start-up and optimal performance.
  • Stay available - Respond to after-hours emergencies and on-call needs — when the site needs you, you show up.
