Job DescriptionJob Description

Overview

We’re hiring a Senior Multi-Craft Maintenance Technician to support and elevate a world-class manufacturing operation producing consumer chemical and body products. This facility integrates chemical batching, precision filling, and high-speed automated packaging, driven by advanced robotics, servo-controlled systems, modern instrumentation, and a range of legacy mechanical equipment.

This elevated role is designed for a technician who is both a master troubleshooter and a team leader. You’ll be the go-to expert for complex mechanical, electrical, controls, and automation challenges, someone who can diagnose any issue independently, implement long-term solutions, and raise the overall technical standard of the maintenance department.

The ideal technician brings deep hands-on expertise and the ability to train, coach, and guide others. You’ll help shape maintenance culture, drive CMMS accuracy, develop preventive/predictive programs, and help the team become more self-reliant and technically confident.
