Production Maintenance Technician: Core Focus: Rapid response to high-frequency, frontline floor issues. This person handles the daily "firefighting"—clearing minor jams, swapping out failed sensors, and executing quick mechanical and fabrication fixes to keep the lines running without pulling your specialized controls or robotics techs away from deep project work. Minor Fabrication & Welding: Capable of handling on-the-spot modifications and quick floor repairs. This includes using MIG/TIG or stick welders to repair cracked equipment guards, weld basic brackets, fabricate simple part chutes, and cut or grind steel stock to modify conveyor guide rails.

This includes clearing part jams in compaction or sizing press grippers, replacing frayed proximity sensor cables, and adjusting mechanical alignment rails.

Target Profile: A high-energy, versatile "jack-of-all-trades" who thrives on the shop floor. Look for someone with a strong mechanical aptitude, basic welding/shop tool skills, electrical safety awareness, and a proactive mindset who knows exactly when a quick fix will work—and when an issue needs to be escalated to the controls or robotics specialists.
