MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN Industrial Equipment Technician | Position Profile PRIMARY PURPOSE Keep production equipment safe, reliable, food-safe, 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 WORKPLACE 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.
