Job Description

Industrial Maintenance Technician

3rd Shift
$29–$32/hour
Auburn / Garrett, IN | Metal Fabrication & Finishing

The Opportunity

This isn’t a “watch the machine” maintenance job.

This is a hands-on, problem-solving role working across a wide range of industrial equipment — where your ability to troubleshoot, diagnose, and fix issues actually matters.

You’ll be working on everything from resistance welders and conveyor systems to paint and powder coat lines, supporting a production environment that depends on skilled technicians to keep things moving.

If you enjoy variety, figuring things out, and building your skillset — especially on the electrical side — this is a strong opportunity.

What You’ll Work On

• Resistance welders
• Conveyor systems
• Paint and powder coat lines
• Shears and material processing equipment

This role blends mechanical and electrical work, with strong opportunity to grow your electrical skills over time.

What You’ll Be Doing

Troubleshooting & Repair (Core of the Role)

• Diagnose and repair equipment issues across production lines
• Troubleshoot electrical systems up to 480V, 3-phase
• Replace components such as VFDs, motors, and drives
• Support electrical installs, wiring, and conduit work
• Identify root causes and implement long-term fixes

Mechanical Maintenance

• Work on gears, bearings, sprockets, and drive systems
• Maintain conveyors and rotating equipment
• Troubleshoot and repair mechanical failures

Fluid Power & Process Systems

• Maintain and troubleshoot hydraulic and pneumatic systems
• Work with pumps, valves, solenoids, and related components
• Support paint and powder coat systems with a focus on uptime

Who This Role is For

• Technicians with strong mechanical skills who want to grow into electrical
• OR experienced maintenance techs already comfortable with 480V systems
• Someone who enjoys troubleshooting and figuring things out
• Comfortable working in an industrial environment

Training is provided, including arc flash safety, to help you build your electrical skillset safely and confidently.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Company-paid training and skill development
• Opportunity to grow into higher-level electrical work
• Mix of equipment — no two days feel the same
• Part of a larger organization with resources, while the local facility maintains a family-style culture dating back to 1902

Compensation & Benefits

• $29–$32/hour (includes shift premium)
• Performance bonus up to 4% of salary
  (paid 19 of the last 21 years)
• Benefits start Day 1
• 3% 401(k) match
• $40,000 company-paid life insurance
• PTO:
  • 6 days in Year 1
  • 12 days in Year 2
  • Additional PTO may be negotiable based on experience

Strong, consistent benefits in a stable environment.

Work Environment

• Industrial metal fabrication and finishing environment
• Hands-on work with automated and mechanical systems
• Exposure to typical plant conditions (heat, noise, dust)
• Steel-toe environment

The Bottom Line

If you’re a mechanically strong technician who wants to grow your electrical skills, work on real equipment, and be part of a stable operation — this is a role where you can build a long-term career.
