Industrial Maintenance Technician – 1st Shift September 29, 2026

Located in Champaign, IL

Pay: $$20 - $25

Job Full Description

Put Your Mechanical Skills to Work on First Shift

A specialized industrial processing facility is hiring an experienced Industrial Maintenance Technician to keep production, processing, packaging, and material-handling equipment operating reliably.

This is a hands-on maintenance position for someone who can diagnose mechanical problems, complete preventive maintenance, and respond effectively when equipment goes down. The strongest candidates will bring previous manufacturing or industrial equipment-repair experience and a practical, problem-solving mindset.

What You’ll Do

  • Troubleshoot and repair industrial production and processing equipment

  • Complete scheduled preventive maintenance and equipment inspections

  • Respond to breakdowns and identify the source of mechanical failures

  • Repair or replace bearings, belts, motors, pumps, valves, gearboxes, and related components

  • Support basic electrical troubleshooting based on experience

  • Maintain packaging and material-handling equipment

  • Make mechanical adjustments to improve equipment performance

  • Assist with equipment installations, upgrades, and facility repairs

  • Document completed maintenance and communicate recurring concerns

  • Maintain an organized work area, tools, and replacement parts

What We’re Looking For

  • Previous industrial maintenance, manufacturing maintenance, millwright, equipment-repair, or maintenance-mechanic experience

  • Strong mechanical troubleshooting and repair ability

  • Experience with hand tools, power tools, and industrial maintenance equipment

  • Ability to diagnose problems rather than relying entirely on step-by-step instruction

  • Ability to read equipment manuals, diagrams, and maintenance documentation

  • Basic electrical troubleshooting experience is strongly preferred

  • Experience with pumps, motors, compressors, conveyors, valves, or similar processing equipment is valuable

  • Dependable attendance and consistent availability for first shift

This is not an entry-level maintenance-helper position. Candidates need enough previous experience to independently complete common mechanical repairs and preventive maintenance.

Physical and Work Environment

  • Industrial processing and manufacturing environment

  • Extended standing and walking throughout the shift

  • Frequent bending, kneeling, crouching, reaching, and climbing

  • Regular lifting and handling of tools, parts, and equipment components

  • Work around operating machinery, industrial noise, and changing temperatures

  • Use of required personal protective equipment

Why Consider This Opportunity?

  • Consistent Monday–Friday first-shift schedule

  • Pay up to $25.00 per hour based on relevant experience

  • Broad exposure to industrial processing, packaging, and material-handling equipment

  • Work that supports the recovery and responsible reuse of industrial materials

  • Full-time hours and long-term employment potential

  • Opportunity to transition directly onto the company’s team after a successful introductory period

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance

  • Weekly pay

  • Referral bonus
