This full-time position is responsible for performing both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance tasks, focusing on the reliability and safety of production machinery and associated systems. The Maintenance Technician is expected to carry out preventive maintenance routines, respond promptly to any emergent repair needs, and collaborate effectively with both in-house engineering teams and external technical personnel. With a commitment to maintaining high operational standards, the Maintenance Technician helps minimize production downtime and supports the overall productivity of the plant.
As a Maintenance Technician, you will be deeply involved in the daily operations of the facility, taking ownership of the equipment assigned to you.

Safety is paramount in this role.

Maintaining a clean and orderly workspace is an essential part of the job, both for personal safety and for the safety of colleagues working nearby. Your proactive approach to workplace safety will contribute to a positive and secure working environment.
