Industrial Maintenance Technician

The Role

Mauser Packaging Solutions needs an Industrial Maintenance Technician in Cincinnati, OH who can handle the full range of duties that keep a manufacturing plant running. This isn't a sit and monitor kind of job. You'll be diagnosing electrical and mechanical systems, fixing them on the spot, and working alongside production crews to keep downtime to a minimum. The goal here is simple: keep the lines moving and the equipment running safely.

What You'll Actually Do

• Handle electrical, mechanical, and general maintenance on plant systems with limited supervision. You're expected to know your way around a machine.
• Use the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) to initiate and close out work orders. That's how we track what's been done and what's next.
• Read blueprints and manufacturer manuals to install machinery correctly and get it running the way it should.
• Install or replace machinery and equipment. You might be tearing out an old conveyor one day and wiring a new one the next.
• Program computer controlled machinery using specific codes and instructions.
• Participate in production changeovers and adjustments. When the line switches product, you're part of making that happen.
• Record every repair and maintenance task. If it's not documented, it didn't happen.
• Test machines to confirm whether they're working properly. Then make recommendations on whether they should keep running or need more work.
• Tear down, clean, and rebuild equipment daily. That's how we meet safety requirements and keep things running smooth.
• Use whatever resources are available to minimize downtime and maximize running efficiency. That means being resourceful.
• Transfer tools, parts, equipment, and supplies to and from workstations and other areas. Sometimes you're a mechanic; sometimes you're logistics.
• Monitor outside contractors when they're on site doing work.
• Evaluate machine efficiency and recommend changes or upgrades that improve output without making things less safe for operators.
• Train new recruits on safe machine operation and correct any mistakes you see from current employees.
• Follow all applicable safety rules: Lock Out/Tag Out (LOTO), Confined Space Entry, Arc Flash, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and any other related programs.
• Keep the work area clean and organized using the 5S system. That's part of the job, not extra credit.
• Maintain a positive work atmosphere. That means communicating and acting in a way that gets along with co workers, customers, and management.
• Use lean tools to identify and assist with continuous improvement. You don't have to be a black belt, but you should be able to spot waste and speak up about it.

What You Need to Bring

Three to five years of experience in industrial mechanics. That's the baseline. You also need demonstrated knowledge of machines and tools, including how they're designed, used, repaired, and maintained. Specifically, that includes electrical and PLC systems. You should know pneumatics, electrical, and control systems inside and out. This isn't a role where you learn on the job ; you need to hit the ground running.

You need strong problem solving skills. Critical thinking is a must because sometimes the problem isn't obvious and you have to dig for it. You also need to communicate clearly, both in writing and verbally, and you need to be comfortable using electronic means for that communication. You'll be working as part of a team, so you can't be the person who disappears or doesn't share information. Being proactive, self motivated, able to multitask, and keeping a positive attitude are expected. Nobody here wants to manage your mood.

Physical Demands

You'll be on your feet for 8 to 12 hours per shift. That's the reality of a manufacturing floor. You need to use your hands and fingers to perform the job function ; fine motor skills are part of the deal. You'll stoop, kneel, bend, and climb as needed. You need to be able to lift up to 35 pounds. And you'll do all of this in a non climate controlled environment that can hit 90+ degrees. If that doesn't work for you, this isn't the role.
