Industrial Maintenance Technician Jobs in Ohio

Industrial Maintenance Technician

SuperForm manufactures insulated concrete forms (ICF) and EPS insulation products in Cincinnati.

Our facility supports the complete manufacturing process under one roof, including steam generation, pre-expansion, block molding, shape molding, hot-wire cutting, scrap recycling, packaging, and plastic injection molding.

We continue to invest in modern manufacturing technology and equipment, including:

• Hirsch ICF shape molder – 2026
• Modix molding equipment – 2025
• Sunghoon pre-expansion and block molding line – 2022
• Miura steam boiler – 2022

We are seeking an experienced Industrial Maintenance Technician who takes ownership of equipment reliability, approaches troubleshooting methodically, and understands the importance of permanent corrective action.

The Role

The Industrial Maintenance Technician is responsible for diagnosing equipment failures, restoring production efficiently, and improving long-term machine reliability.

This is a hands-on technical role with responsibility for breakdown response, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, documentation, and equipment improvement.

Success in this position requires more than simply restoring a machine to operation. We are looking for someone who can identify the root cause of a failure, implement the appropriate repair, document the work completed, and help prevent the issue from recurring.

The successful candidate will be comfortable working independently, making sound technical decisions, and supporting a disciplined maintenance program across the facility.

What Success Looks Like

• Equipment downtime is reduced and maintained at acceptable levels.
• Repeat failures are identified, analyzed, and eliminated.
• Preventive maintenance schedules are established and consistently completed for critical equipment.
• Work orders, repairs, machine history, and parts usage are accurately documented.
• Critical spare parts are identified and maintained at appropriate inventory levels.
• Production receives timely and dependable maintenance support.
• Maintenance activity increasingly focuses on prevention and reliability rather than repeated emergency repair.
