Milford, IN | Food Processing Facility

The Opportunity

We’re hiring Maintenance Technicians for a stable, locally owned company that has been in business for nearly 70 years — without layoffs or downsizing.

This facility supports food processing operations and relies on a strong maintenance team to keep production running efficiently around the clock.

The environment is team-oriented and hands-on. Leadership is approachable, employees support one another, and the company is known for treating people well and promoting long-term careers.

This role is best suited for a technician with strong mechanical troubleshooting skills and basic electrical ability who enjoys staying busy and solving problems in a production environment.

Schedule & Pay

• 3rd Shift (Scheduled): 11:00pm – 7:00am
• Team typically works closer to 9:00pm – 7:00am due to overtime demands
• Saturday work is common, sometimes partial shifts
• Maintenance team participates in an on-call rotation
• $27–$31/hour + $1/hour shift premium
• Target hiring range is around $29/hour for mid-level technicians

What You’ll Be Doing

This role focuses on keeping production equipment operating safely and efficiently through preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair work.

Mechanical & Equipment Maintenance

• Troubleshoot and repair production equipment
• Perform preventative maintenance and scheduled repairs
• Work on conveyors, motors, bearings, chains, gearboxes, and processing equipment
• Disassemble, repair, and reassemble machinery as needed

Electrical & Troubleshooting Support

• Perform light electrical troubleshooting and repair
• Assist with diagnosing equipment and control issues
• Support efforts to minimize downtime and maintain production flow

Daily Operations & Team Support

• Maintain clean and organized work areas
• Assist with maintenance documentation and work orders

What We’re Looking For

• Strong mechanical troubleshooting skills
• Experience working in industrial maintenance or production environments
• Basic electrical troubleshooting ability
• Ability to work independently and communicate well with a team
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced production environment

Nice to Have

• Food processing or manufacturing maintenance experience
• Conveyor or processing equipment experience
• Preventative maintenance experience

What Matters Most

• Attendance and reliability are critical
• Willingness to help wherever needed
• Positive attitude and team mentality
• Desire to continue learning and improving

This is a shop where people count on one another — consistency matters.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Nearly 70 years in business with no layoffs
• Family-oriented culture where employees support one another
• Stable workload with strong long-term opportunity
• Hands-on environment with a variety of equipment
• Opportunity to continue growing maintenance and troubleshooting skills

Benefits & Perks

• 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

Work Environment

• Active food processing facility
• Combination of mechanical maintenance, troubleshooting, and preventative maintenance
• Exposure to wet, cold, and industrial production environments at times
• Physical role requiring walking, bending, lifting, and equipment access

The Bottom Line

If you’re a mechanically strong technician who enjoys troubleshooting equipment, staying busy, and being part of a reliable team — this is a strong long-term opportunity with a stable company.
