Job Summary:

Join our team and embark on a once in a lifetime opportunity to build a world class, greenfield facility focused on the manufacturing of superalloys for the aerospace, space, and defense industries. Initial hiring will take place in the third quarter of 2025, and responsibilities will include metal fabrication, equipment erection, and general installation activities. Responsibilities will then shift to commissioning and troubleshooting activities alongside equipment vendors and our engineering team. Once operational, technicians will be responsible for the preventative and predictive maintenance of equipment, troubleshooting, and repairs of equipment in a metals manufacturing environment. This role requires a strong understanding of mechanical, vacuum, compression, and hydraulic systems, as well as the ability to perform preventive maintenance and emergency repairs. The ideal candidate will be proactive, detail-oriented, and able to work efficiently both independently and as part of a team.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in the initial building of the facility and installation of equipment.
• Perform preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance on metal manufacturing machinery including furnaces and associated downstream processing machines.
• Troubleshoot and repair mechanical, pneumatic, vacuum, compression, and hydraulic systems.
• Respond to machine breakdowns and unplanned downtime in a timely and efficient manner to minimize production delays.
• Conduct routine inspections to ensure equipment is operating at peak performance and meets safety standards.
• Maintain accurate maintenance logs, including details of repairs, parts used, and time spent on each task.
• Collaborate with production and engineering teams to solve issues that impact safety, ergonomics, reliability, or production uptime.
• Assist in equipment installations, upgrades, and modifications as needed.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area, following all safety procedures and company policies.
• Ensure compliance with regulatory and company safety standards and guidelines.
• Participate in on-call or after-hours support as needed.

Qualifications:

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Technical degree or certification preferred but not required.
• Proven experience of 3+ years in maintenance within a manufacturing or industrial setting.
• Strong knowledge of mechanical, hydraulic, vacuum, compressor, and pneumatic systems.
• Experience with CNC machines, lathes, presses, and other metalworking equipment is a plus.
• Capability to weld (MIG or TIG) and fabricate metal structures from drawings.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, schematics, and manuals.
• Strong troubleshooting and diagnostic skills.
• Proficient with hand tools, power tools, fabrication tools, and diagnostic equipment.
• Familiarity with preventive and predictive maintenance practices and techniques.
• Ability to work well independently and as part of the engineering and production teams.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to prioritize tasks effectively.
• Good communication skills and the ability to interact with cross-functional teams.
• Flexibility to work on rotating shifts, weekends, or on-call when required.

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to lift and carry up to 50 pounds.
