## Description

**Overview:**

We are seeking a **Multi Craft Maintenance Technician** to help keep our production operation running at a high level in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. This is a **true multi-craft role**—to be successful, you must be confident working across both **mechanical and electrical** disciplines, with strong troubleshooting instincts and the ability to work problems from symptoms to root cause.

In this role, you’ll respond to real-time breakdowns, perform critical repairs, and drive preventive work that protects uptime. You’ll also have meaningful ownership in a company that invests in its people, offering the chance to **grow your skill set, expand your technical range, and help strengthen maintenance capabilities as the operation continues to scale and bring new equipment online**. This is a polymer manufacturing environment, but we value strong industrial maintenance fundamentals and train the right people.

One major differentiator: **100% company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family**, a direct reflection of how seriously this company supports and retains its team.
