Industrial Electromechanical Maintenance Mechanic

Greif, West Palm Beach, FL, United States


Your day, simplified

You start by walking the floor, performing preventive maintenance that keeps machines smooth, building systems efficient, and facilities in top shape. You inspect drives, motors, and belts, check fluid levels, and swap filters using clear checklists. Throughout the day, you capture every repair and adjustment in the maintenance work order system, keeping a precise history of what was done and why.

When production calls, you diagnose complex mechanical issues on industrial equipment, referencing blueprints, repair manuals, and parts catalogs to chart the shortest path to a reliable fix. You assemble, install, and repair wiring, electrical and electronic components, pipe systems and plumbing, and production machinery. You’ll align and balance newly installed equipment and verify performance. When metal needs to be joined or cut, you confidently use cutting torches or welding equipment. You also set up and operate machine tools to repair or fabricate parts, jigs, fixtures, and tools—then verify dimensional changes on used parts with rulers, calipers, and micrometers. All the while, you keep the critical parts inventory healthy so downtime stays minimal.

Your toolkit spans from common hand and power tools—hammers, hoists, saws, drills, and wrenches—to precision measuring instruments and electrical/electronic testing devices. Between work orders, you lend a hand to facility upkeep: painting and repairing roofs, windows, doors, floors, woodwork, plaster, and drywall to keep the environment safe and presentable.
