• Assist with mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic repairs when needed.
• Document repairs, maintenance activities, and equipment concerns.
• Communicate equipment issues, completed repairs, and outstanding maintenance needs to the Chief Engineer and other maintenance personnel.
• Follow all company safety procedures, including lockout/tagout requirements.

• Experience troubleshooting industrial motors and motor controls.
• Proficiency using multimeters and other electrical testing equipment.
• Ability to prioritize repairs and troubleshoot equipment under production demands.
• Ability to work second shift and additional hours when required.
• Strong safety awareness, dependability, and communication skills.
• Must be available to consistently work the second-shift schedule of 3:30-12:00 Midnight and additional hours when operational needs are required.

Highly Preferred

• Experience troubleshooting PLC systems and input/output signals.
• Experience diagnosing VFD and HMI faults.
• Experience with industrial automation and control systems.
• Industrial laundry or textile manufacturing maintenance experience.
• Working knowledge of mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems.

What Makes You Successful in This Role?

• You are confident troubleshooting electrical problems without constant supervision.
• You can systematically identify the root cause of equipment failures.
• You understand the importance of keeping production equipment running safely.
• You respond promptly to breakdowns and follow through on repairs.
• You communicate effectively with production personnel and maintenance leadership.
• You take pride in your workmanship and are dependable when the team needs you.
