Maintenance Technician

About This Role

You are the backbone of uptime. As our Maintenance Technician, you'll perform preventive and corrective maintenance on CNC mills, CNC lathes, coolant systems, air compressors, and general shop infrastructure. When a machine goes down, you're the first responder. When everything is running smoothly, it's because of the PM schedule you maintain.

We're a startup with growing capacity — you'll help commission new equipment, set up utilities, and build out our maintenance program from the ground up. This role has real impact: every hour of uptime you protect translates directly to parts shipped and revenue earned. We need someone who takes ownership and acts fast.
