MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN Industrial Equipment Technician | Position Profile PRIMARY PURPOSE Keep production equipment safe, reliable, food-protected, and running efficiently through troubleshooting, repairs, inspections, preventive maintenance, and continuous improvement.
MAINTENANCE PRIORITY HIERARCHY 1. Food Safety: Eliminate contamination risks, damaged food-contact parts, leaking seals, loose hardware, improper temporary repairs, and other conditions that could compromise product safety.
2. Equipment / Employee Safety: Identify and correct issues involving guards, interlocks, bearings, electrical or mechanical hazards, and other unsafe equipment conditions.
3. Equipment Reliability & Efficiency: Reduce downtime, correct recurring failures, improve equipment performance, and complete mechanical adjustments needed to maintain consistent production.
4. Preventive Maintenance: Complete scheduled inspections, lubrication, wear-part replacement, equipment-condition checks, and accurate documentation of maintenance findings.
5. Continuous Improvement / Projects: Support equipment upgrades, stronger component designs, guarding improvements, changeover improvements, fabrication, and reliability-focused projects.
EQUIPMENT ENVIRONMENT The technician should be comfortable troubleshooting, repairing, and maintaining production equipment including:
Mixers and blending equipment
Conveyors and material-handling systems
Ovens and baking equipment




Pumps and depositors
Packaging equipment
Gearboxes and motors
Pneumatic systems
Stainless-steel food-processing equipment
PREFERRED MECHANICAL & TECHNICAL SKILLS Bearings, shafts, sprockets, chains, belts, and mechanical power-transmission components
Gearboxes and electric motors
Pneumatics and basic hydraulics
Pumps and mechanical seals
Conveyor systems
Stainless-steel food equipment
Welding and fabrication
Troubleshooting recurring mechanical failures and identifying root causes
Preventive maintenance procedures and equipment inspections
Reading equipment manuals, schematics, and mechanical drawings
Basic electrical troubleshooting
Sensors, switches, and motors
Lockout/tagout (LOTO)
Food-manufacturing sanitation, GMP, and hygienic repair requirements
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE Equipment is repaired correctly and returned to service safely and efficiently.
Recurring failures are investigated to determine root cause rather than repeatedly replacing the same part.
Food-safety and employee-safety risks are identified and escalated immediately.
Preventive maintenance work is completed consistently and documented accurately.
Equipment condition, required parts, and outstanding maintenance needs are clearly communicated.
The technician contributes ideas that improve equipment reliability, maintainability, and production efficiency.
