Job Description

Maintenance Technician

1st Shift | 6:00am – 2:30pm
$27–$33/hr
Fort Wayne, IN | Aluminum Casting & Machining Environment

The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Maintenance Technician for a financially strong, family-owned manufacturing company in Fort Wayne.

This is a hands-on role supporting a facility that produces aluminum castings and machining components. The building itself has been around a long time, but much of the equipment is modern — including two recently installed machines as part of ongoing investment in the operation.

This is a place where employees get to know the owners personally. Leadership is accessible, supportive, and actively involved in helping employees succeed.

If you enjoy solving mechanical and electrical problems, working independently, and keeping production running, this is a great opportunity to join a stable organization.

Schedule & Pay

• 1st Shift: 6:00am – 2:30pm

• $27–$33/hour

• The facility is currently very busy and overtime is common, including Saturdays through mid-April

• Opportunity to work on special projects involving new equipment and process improvements

What You’ll Be Doing

Maintenance technicians support the entire operation — from production equipment to facility systems.

You’ll:

• Troubleshoot and repair electrical systems up to 480V 3-phase

• Diagnose issues involving hydraulics and pneumatics

• Work from blueprints and schematics

• Maintain production equipment used in casting and machining operations

• Perform maintenance on gas-powered forklifts and other facility vehicles

• Assist with facility maintenance projects

• Participate in planning and installation of new equipment

• Support process improvements and equipment modifications

Technicians are trusted to work independently and solve problems as they arise.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong mechanical troubleshooting ability

• Experience working with hydraulics, pneumatics, and industrial electrical systems

• Ability to read blueprints and electrical schematics

• Comfortable working with minimal supervision

• Experience maintaining production equipment and facility systems

Work Environment

This is a heavy industrial environment supporting aluminum casting and machining operations.

The facility is older and the work can be hot, dirty, and physically demanding at times.

If you prefer a clean, climate-controlled environment, this likely isn’t the right fit.

However, the company continues to invest in improvements — including recently installed production equipment and a newly renovated employee breakroom.

Benefits

• Very affordable health, dental, and vision insurance with strong coverage

• Life insurance fully paid by the employer

• Stable company with long-term employees

Why This Company Stands Out

• Family-owned company with strong financial backing

• Ownership is approachable and personally involved with employees

• Stable operation with continued investment in equipment

• Mid-sized company where individuals can make a real impact

This is a strong opportunity for a technician who enjoys hands-on industrial work and a company where leadership is accessible.
