**Salary:** USD 27–34

**Workplace:** on_site

## Description

**Overview**

We’re seeking a skilled **Multi-Craft Maintenance Technician** to support a **consumer packaged goods manufacturer** operating high-speed filling, bottling, labeling, and packaging lines. The facility runs a mix of modern, sensor-dense, servo-driven automation alongside supporting mechanical systems, requiring technicians who are comfortable working inside electrically and electronically complex equipment.

This role is best suited for a technician with a **strong electrical and electronics troubleshooting foundation**, someone who can confidently diagnose sensor faults, motion issues, control-related failures, and automation-driven downtime. While all multi-craft backgrounds are welcome, **hands-on experience with high-speed, automated packaging equipment is highly preferred**.

You’ll work across electrical distribution, controls, instrumentation, servos, robotics, pneumatics, and supporting mechanical systems to keep production lines running safely and reliably.

**Compensation**

-   $27 - $34 / hr

**Shifts**

-   All shifts available

## Requirements

**Responsibilities**

-   **Electrical & Electronics Troubleshooting:** Diagnose and repair issues involving sensors, photo-eyes, proximity switches, encoders, VFDs, servos, safety circuits, relays, and control panels across high-speed production lines.
-   **Automation & Motion Systems Support:** Troubleshoot servo-driven filling, bottling, labeling, cartoning, and packaging equipment; support pick-and-place systems, automated transfers, and palletizing cells.
-   **Instrumentation & Vision Systems:** Maintain, adjust, and calibrate sensors, level controls, checkweighers, vision inspection systems, and quality-verification devices used for fill accuracy, label placement, and product presence.
-   **Mechanical Equipment Maintenance:** Support mechanical repairs as needed, including conveyors, gearboxes, pumps, fillers, cappers, and packaging mechanisms that interface with automated systems.
-   **Pneumatic Systems:** Troubleshoot valves, cylinders, regulators, air manifolds, and air-driven actuators commonly used in filling and packaging machinery.
-   **Preventive & Predictive Maintenance:** Execute PMs focused on electrical inspections, sensor alignment, cable integrity, motion component health, lubrication, and wear-item replacement to minimize unplanned downtime.
-   **Root Cause Analysis:** Independently investigate recurring electrical or automation-related issues, identify failure patterns, and implement long-term corrective actions without routine engineering escalation.

**Qualifications**

_**Required**_

-   **Experience:** 3+ years of hands-on industrial maintenance experience in a manufacturing environment
-   **Electrical & Electronics Skills:** Strong troubleshooting capability with 24V–480V systems, sensors, motors, drives, servos, relays, wiring, and control panels
-   **Automation Exposure:** Experience working on automated or semi-automated production equipment utilizing sensors, motion control, and high-speed sequences
-   **Schematics & Documentation:** Ability to read electrical prints, wiring diagrams, and control schematics
-   **Troubleshooting Mindset:** Independent problem-solver capable of diagnosing issues on the floor and restoring equipment to operation efficiently

_**Preferred**_

-   **High-Speed Packaging Experience:** Background supporting filling, bottling, labeling, cartoning, or packaging lines in CPG, food, beverage, or similar industries
-   **Controls & PLCs:** Allen-Bradley / Rockwell systems (ControlLogix, CompactLogix); PLC I/O and fault diagnostics; minor logic edits a plus
-   **Robotics & Motion:** Experience with servo-driven systems, pick-and-place units, palletizers, or robotic packaging cells
-   **Instrumentation & Vision:** Hands-on experience with inspection cameras, checkweighers, level controls, or other inline quality systems
-   **CMMS:** Familiarity with digital maintenance tracking systems

## Benefits

-   Medical, dental, vision
-   401(k) with match
