Maintenance Technician II - 3rd shift
ZipRecruiter, Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin, United States, 53158
Job DescriptionJob Description
Our client, a leading manufacturer of wire and cable products, is currently seeking a 3rd shift Level II Maintenance Technician to support their industrial operations. This hands-on role is essential to ensuring equipment reliability, production efficiency, and workplace safety by performing a wide range of electrical and mechanical maintenance tasks on complex manufacturing machinery.
Important Note: This is not an assembler or conveyor technician role. Candidates must have direct maintenance experience on actual manufacturing machinery and be able to clearly describe the types of equipment they've worked on. The role demands a strong multi-craft background and a readiness to physically get on the floor to tear down and rebuild machines as needed.
Key Responsibilities:
Perform complex maintenance and repairs on motors, control systems, drive units, and manufacturing machinery not just conveyor systems
Troubleshoot mechanical and electrical equipment failures using methodical, root-cause analysis
Read and interpret technical drawings, wiring schematics, and OEM service manuals
Conduct equipment alignments, overhauls, part replacements, and perform both planned and emergency electrical work
Use test devices such as voltmeters and ohmmeters to ensure system safety and performance
Maintain accurate service records in CMMS and help drive continuous improvement
Mentor and support junior technicians and operators on best maintenance practices
Collaborate in process improvement and reliability projects
Requirements:
High school diploma or GED required; 2-year technical degree
Minimum 5 years of hands-on industrial manufacturing maintenance experience
Must be able to describe past work with actual machines (e.g., extruders, draw machines, cutting/winding equipment not just conveyors)
Strong background in both electrical and mechanical maintenance
Experience working on heavy-duty industrial equipment in a fast-paced setting
Proficient in Microsoft Office and CMMS platforms
Comfortable using shop tools (drill press, band saw, grinders) and precision measuring devices
Proven experience reading electrical schematics and troubleshooting down to the component level
Ability to lift 50 lbs, climb ladders, crawl under/around machinery, and work in confined spaces
Completion of maintenance certification or trade testing strongly
Quality & Safety Expectations:
Stay up to date with industry standards and procedures through regular training
Immediately report any hazards, unsafe conditions, or incidents
Maintain compliance with all safety policies, including PPE, lockout/tagout, and confined space entry
Ensure proper handling of materials to minimize environmental impact
Physical/Environmental Requirements:
Ability to work in an industrial manufacturing environment (heat, noise, moving equipment)
Must be physically capable of working in awkward or demanding positions for extended periods
Willingness to perform rigorous, hands-on maintenance work on the shop floor
This is a physically demanding and technically challenging role that offers long-term career growth within a stable manufacturing company. If you're an experienced multi-craft maintenance technician with deep knowledge of industrial machinery and a proactive mindset, we encourage you to apply.
