Job Description

Industrial Maintenance Technician

Location: Richmond, VA

Job Type: Full-Time

Shifts Available: Multiple shifts (1st and 3rd shift openings available)

Compensation: $23–$32 per hour

A day in the life

Your shift starts with a quick walk of the production floor—listening for unusual sounds, scanning for alarms, and reviewing work orders. A conveyor has a vibration issue: you diagnose a worn bearing, replace it, and document the repair to keep downtime to a minimum. Later, you swap a motor, adjust a gearbox, and fine‑tune a pneumatic actuator. Between calls, you complete scheduled preventive maintenance, update logs, and make sure every task is done safely and by the book.

What you’ll take ownership of

  • Executing preventive and corrective maintenance on production machinery to keep output steady
  • Troubleshooting and repairing mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems
  • Diagnosing equipment failures quickly to reduce downtime
  • Installing, aligning, adjusting, and rebuilding components as needed
  • Reading and interpreting schematics, equipment manuals, and work orders
  • Using hand and power tools safely and effectively
  • Maintaining accurate service, repair, and PM documentation
  • Following all safety policies and procedures at all times

What you bring

  • Industrial maintenance experience (required)
  • Demonstrated mechanical aptitude and hands-on troubleshooting skills
  • Working knowledge of mechanical systems; electrical experience preferred
  • Background with conveyors, motors, gearboxes, pumps, or similar equipment
  • Ability to diagnose issues independently and resolve them promptly
  • Reliability, punctuality, and comfort in a fast-paced production environment

Preferred (not required)

  • Electrical troubleshooting of motors, controls, and sensors
  • PLC troubleshooting (no programming required)
  • Welding or basic fabrication experience
  • Experience in a manufacturing or production facility

Why this role

You’ll keep critical equipment running, develop broad electromechanical skills, and see the direct impact of your work on safe, efficient, continuous production.
