🔥 KEEP PRODUCTION MOVING. SOLVE PROBLEMS. BE THE PERSON THEY CALL WHEN DOWNTIME ISN’T AN OPTION.

Are you the Maintenance Technician who gets called when equipment stops and everyone else is looking for answers?

We're looking for a hands-on Maintenance Technician to join a manufacturing operation in Southern Wisconsin. This is an opportunity to work with modern manufacturing equipment, troubleshoot complex mechanical and electrical issues, and play a critical role in keeping production running safely and efficiently.

Are you already the person everyone turns to when something goes down?

You may have an opportunity to take on additional responsibility, mentor other technicians, help prioritize work, and serve as a technical resource for the maintenance team.

WHAT YOU BRING

• 2+ years of industrial maintenance or manufacturing maintenance experience preferred.
• Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills.
• Experience with motors, conveyors, sensors, VFDs, pneumatics, hydraulics, and controls.

• Growth potential for technicians interested in leadership
• Opportunity to expand your electrical, mechanical, automation, and robotics skill set

🚨 THIS IS MORE THAN A PARTS-CHANGER ROLE.

We're looking for technicians who can think, troubleshoot, diagnose, and fix.
