Senior Industrial Maintenance and Reliability Technician

What a day looks like

You start your shift walking the line, listening for the subtle signs a machine gives off before failure. A conveyor hesitates—minutes later, you’ve traced the root cause through the PLC, verified a suspect sensor with a meter, adjusted a control instrument, and tested the system back to peak performance. Between break-fix calls, you’re refining PM routes with the Planner / Scheduler, logging findings in the CMMS, and applying predictive maintenance data to head off the next fault. When parts are needed, you source smart alternatives that increase reliability and reduce cost. You keep 5S front and center, mentor junior techs, and use continuous improvement tools to drive measurable savings.

What you'll do

• Own expert-level troubleshooting and preventative maintenance across electrical and mechanical systems—from isolating root causes and dismantling / rebuilding components to precision adjustments, part repair / replacement, and full functional testing.
• Conduct tests on electrical circuits and mechanical assemblies; recondition and repair machine tools as needed.
• Identify, source, and evaluate parts and supplies, weighing reliability, availability, and cost.
• Collaborate with the Planner / Scheduler to optimize PM strategies and intervals.
• Operate machining equipment (lathe, drill press, grinder, and similar) to fabricate or repair parts; perform welding when required.
• Champion 5S, maintain a safe, orderly workplace, and lead CI initiatives using established methodologies to deliver process improvements and cost reductions.
• Coach and support lower-level technicians; serve as a technical lead on projects and training efforts.
• Diagnose complex control systems, resolving hardware, software, and configuration issues.
• Leverage predictive technologies to collect performance data, analyze trends, and recommend action.
• Maintain accurate CMMS records, review equipment history, and use data to guide maintenance decisions.
• Pursue ongoing learning through on-the-job training and self-directed technical study.
• Model safety-first behavior with strong situational awareness; proactively identify and address unsafe conditions.

Tools and technology you'll work with

Work environment and physical expectations

Plan to be on your feet frequently—walking, reaching, and working hands-on. You’ll climb or balance at height with ladders or lifts, and at times stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl in tight spaces. Sitting happens occasionally. You may lift or move items over 50 lbs on occasion. Close and color vision are used regularly. Expect occasional exposure to weather and electrical hazards. The factory setting is typically very loud, with possible exposure to hazardous materials and slick or greasy floors.
