Guided by core values of innovation, sustainability, and inclusion, they are committed to developing talent and building a diverse, future-ready workforce.

As Technician III, Utility, you'll play a hands-on role in ensuring continuous production across a complex and fast-moving manufacturing environment.

  • Collaborate directly with production teams to plan, schedule, and execute maintenance with minimal downtime.
  • Develop and manage preventative maintenance schedules and ensure timely completion.
  • Maintain accurate records of all maintenance activities—including daily logs, checklists, and repair documentation.
  • Support vendor coordination for specialized repairs or maintenance needs.
  • Train and mentor new technicians, sharing best practices and hands-on knowledge.
  • Promote a clean and organized workspace aligned with 5S3R standards:
    • Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain
    • Right Location, Right Quantity, Right Container
  • Always perform work in a safe, compliant, and efficient manner.

Essential Requirements

  • 3+ years of maintenance experience in a production or plant environment.
  • High School Diploma or GED; further technical training is a plus.
  • Physically able to work in PPE (e.g., safety glasses, steel-toed shoes) for extended shifts (up to 12 hours).
  • Capable of lifting/pushing/pulling up to 50 lbs, standing for long periods, and performing overhead or repetitive movements.

Preferred Skills

  • Basic knowledge of mechanical and electrical systems.
  • Vocational certification (e.g., journeyman).
