Job Description

Let’s start with what matters to you

If you're a hands-on problem solver who enjoys fixing things that others can’t…
If you like working with Machine controls, PLCs and automated systems…
And if you want a role where your ideas actually matter—not just your labor…

You’ll probably like it here.

What you’ll get (the real reasons people join us)

• Work on modern equipment – automated lines, sensors, and controls (not outdated tech)
• Respect for your skills – you’ll be trusted to troubleshoot, not micromanaged
• Growth you can see – opportunities to learn PLC programming, and advanced diagnostics
• Stable hours + predictable schedule
• Competitive pay + benefits
• A team that backs you up – no “figure it out alone” culture
• Tools and support to do the job right

What you’ll actually be doing

(No vague bullet points—this is the real job.)

• Diagnose and fix issues on automated production equipment
• Work with PLCs, HMIs, sensors, motors, and robotics systems
• Perform preventive maintenance to keep systems running reliably
• Support production by solving problems quickly and effectively
• Help improve equipment performance (your ideas will be heard)
• Work with engineering and maintenance teams to implement upgrades

What makes someone successful here

You don’t need to check every box—but if most of this sounds like you, we should talk:

• You enjoy troubleshooting and figuring out how systems work
• You have experience with mechanical and electrical systems
• You’re comfortable around automation or industrial equipment
• You take pride in fixing things correctly—not just quickly
• You’re reliable and show up ready to contribute

Qualifications

Helpful (but not required) experience

• PLC troubleshooting (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, etc.)
