Job title: Manufacturing General Maintenance Person

Job summary:

Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on manufacturing equipment, building systems, and supporting utilities to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient production operations. Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and basic PLC-controlled systems; perform routine inspections; and support production line uptime.

Key responsibilities:

  • Perform daily, weekly, and monthly preventative maintenance on production machines, conveyors, motors, pumps, compressors, fixtures, and material handling equipment.
  • Troubleshoot and repair mechanical components (bearings, belts, chains, gears, couplings), basic hydraulics and pneumatics (cylinders, valves, hoses), and simple electrical controls.
  • Replace worn parts, bearings, seals, belts, and drive components; perform alignments and basic machining or fabrication as needed.
  • Diagnose and repair basic PLC, sensor, and control-circuit issues in coordination with maintenance leads or electricians (reset/replace sensors, check wiring/connectors, replace fuses/relays).
  • Respond to production line breakdowns and emergency repair requests to minimize downtime; perform root-cause assessments and document corrective actions.
  • Perform routine inspections, lubrication schedules, vibration and temperature checks, and maintain accurate maintenance logs.
  • Maintain spare parts inventory, recommend reorder levels, and ensure critical spares are available to avoid extended downtime.
  • Carry out facility maintenance tasks: lighting, HVAC filters, doors, dock equipment, and minor building repairs that affect production.
  • Follow lockout/tagout, confined-space, machine-guarding, and other safety procedures; participate in safety meetings and continuous improvement activities.
  • Coordinate with outside contractors for specialized repairs or major overhauls; supervise contractor work on the plant floor when required.
  • Assist in equipment installations, line changeovers, and setup for new product runs; help with preventive-maintenance planning and CMMS data entry.

Required qualifications:

  • High school diploma or GED.
  • 2+ years experience in manufacturing maintenance, industrial/mechanical maintenance, or similar environment.
  • Hands-on experience with mechanical systems, basic electrical troubleshooting, pneumatics, and basic hydraulic systems.
  • Basic familiarity with machine electrical controls and PLCs (able to perform simple sensor, I/O, and relay checks).
  • Ability to read mechanical and electrical drawings, schematics, and maintenance manuals.
  • Valid driver's license if required for site travel.

Preferred qualifications:

  • Technical certificate or vocational training in industrial maintenance, mechatronics, or related trade.
  • Certifications: OSHA 10 (or equivalent), lockout/tagout, forklift, and/or relevant trade certifications.
  • Experience with CMMS (e.g., SAP PM, Maximo, UpKeep) and basic preventive maintenance planning.
  • Welding, fabrication, or millwright experience.

Skills and attributes:

  • Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills under production pressure.
  • Good mechanical aptitude and manual dexterity.
  • Ability to prioritize tasks, manage multiple repair requests, and communicate status to production and supervision.
  • Dependable, safety-conscious, and able to work independently or as part of a maintenance team.
  • Basic computer skills for CMMS, work orders, and parts ordering.

Working conditions:

  • On-site in a manufacturing environment with exposure to noise, dust, grease, and moving machinery.
  • Work may require climbing ladders, working at heights, entering confined spaces, and using PPE.
  • Frequent lifting (up to 50 lbs regularly; heavier with team lift), standing, bending, and physical activity.
  • May include shift work, overtime, and on-call emergency responses.

Reporting and supervision:

  • Reports to Maintenance Supervisor or Plant Engineer.
  • May mentor or provide direction to junior maintenance staff, contractors, or apprentices.

Performance metrics (examples):

  • Mean time to repair (MTTR) for critical equipment.
  • Preventive maintenance completion rate (% completed on schedule).
  • Unplanned downtime hours per month.
  • Number of repeat failures within 30 days.
  • Safety incident rate and corrective actions closed.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
