Experienced Maintenance Mechanic Job at Frito-Lay in Jonesboro

Position Overview

Join to apply for the Experienced Maintenance Mechanic role at Frito-Lay.

We are looking for an experienced maintenance mechanic to troubleshoot, repair, and install pneumatic and hydraulic systems, control valves, centrifugal and positive displacement pumps. Maintenance mechanics also troubleshoot and repair AC/DC electrical systems, read schematics, and use electrical testing equipment (volt‑ohm meter, amp meter, oscilloscope). Our experienced maintenance mechanics have extensive understanding of programmable logic controls and contribute through preventative maintenance systems and work order tracking. Maintenance mechanics have the skill and flexibility to work on any equipment within the facility and to operate lathes, mills, arc and Heliarc welders for repair, and fabrication.

If you do not have extensive experience, you may be better suited for one of our entry‑level positions. Prior to the in‑person interview, you will be asked to complete a hands‑on electrical skills test.

Although you will start out working for Frito‑Lay, this job can open the door to career opportunities with our parent company, PepsiCo. We set industry standards in terms of pay and benefits and offer unbeatable benefits including health insurance, dental and vision, retirement savings benefits including a 401(k) with company contribution, vacation days and more.

Work will vary from day to day depending on need and your hours will vary by assigned location. It also gets loud in the Frito‑Lay manufacturing facilities are large. While we want everyone to feel comfortable, our ability to control the temperature in our warehouses is limited. Indoor warehouse working conditions are impacted by seasons and the weather.

Before going any further, you should know that our Maintenance team is known for two critical areas of expertise:

• Deep understanding of high‑voltage wiring (480V 3‑phase motors)
