Job Description

Maintenance Technician

1st Shift | Monday–Friday | 7:00am – 3:00pm
$29–$31/hour, Overtime Available
Syracuse, IN | Feed Mill Operations

The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Maintenance Technician to support a feed mill operation for a locally owned company that has been in business for nearly 70 years — without ever having a layoff or downsizing.

This is a tight-knit, team-oriented environment where employees genuinely support one another and leadership treats people the right way. The culture is often described as “family” — not just in words, but in how people work together day to day.

If you enjoy hands-on mechanical work and want long-term stability, this is a strong opportunity.

Schedule & Pay

• Monday–Friday | 7:00am – 3:00pm

• $29–$31/hour

• On-call as needed

• Some off-hours work, including occasional weekends

What You’ll Be Doing

This role supports the operation and reliability of a multi-level feed mill.

You’ll:

• Perform maintenance and repairs on mill equipment

• Troubleshoot mechanical systems and material handling equipment

• Work on conveyors, motors, and drive systems

• Support preventative maintenance efforts

• Respond to breakdowns as needed to keep production running

• Assist with general facility maintenance

This role is ideal for someone with a millwright mindset — strong mechanical ability and comfort working on large, vertical systems.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong mechanical aptitude

• Experience with industrial equipment, conveyors, or similar systems

• Ability to work independently and troubleshoot issues

• Comfortable working at heights (feed mill is a tall structure)

• Valid driver’s license

Millwright experience is ideal, but strong mechanical technicians will be considered.

Work Environment

• Multi-level feed mill environment

• Must be comfortable working at heights

• Industrial setting with dust and moving equipment

Benefits

• Benefits eligible after 60 days

• Generous attendance and time-off policies

• Strong bereavement and parental leave (paternity/maternity) offerings

• Stable company with long-tenured employees

Why This Company Stands Out

• Nearly 70 years in business with zero layoffs

• Family-oriented culture where people support each other

• Locally owned and community-focused

• Long-term career stability

This is a great fit for someone who values stability, teamwork, and hands-on mechanical work.
