Facilities Maintenance Technician
AESC US, Smyrna, TN, United States
About The Role
The Facilities Maintenance Technician is responsible for the daily uptime of the physical plant. You will balance a mix of scheduled preventative maintenance and reactive repairs to keep the lights on, the air dry, and the machines running safely. Your mission is to minimize facility-related downtime while maintaining a "safety-first" culture in a high-voltage environment.
Key Responsibilities
Routine Maintenance: Perform scheduled oil changes, filter replacements, and belt tensioning on facility equipment (Air Handlers, Compressors, Pumps).
Dry Room Support: Conduct daily rounds to verify that Dew Point and Relative Humidity sensors are within strict manufacturing tolerances.
Safety & Compliance: Maintain strict adherence to ISO 14001 and OSHA standards. Manage hazardous waste disposal and ensure chemical storage areas meet fire and environmental codes. Ensure 100% compliance with LOTO (Lockout/Tagout), Arc Flash safety, and chemical handling protocols (NMP, electrolytes).
Electrical & Lighting: Replace ballasts, switches, and outlets; assist Senior Techs with 480V motor replacements and troubleshooting.
General Piping: Repair leaks in compressed air lines and process water piping; assist with the installation of new utility drops for production equipment.
Facility Upkeep: Address general building needs including minor carpentry, painting, and flooring repairs within cleanroom environments.
Logistics & Safety: Monitor chemical drum levels (Electrolyte/NMP) and swap containers following strict safety and PPE protocols.
Emergency Response: Serve as a primary responder for facility emergencies, including power outages, gas leaks, or fire suppression system triggers.
CMMS Management: Utilize Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) to track work orders, inventory levels for spare parts, and equipment history.
Preventative & Predictive Maintenance: Execute scheduled inspections and servicing on HVAC systems, industrial chillers, air compressors, and wastewater treatment equipment to prevent unplanned downtime.
Dry Room Oversight: Monitor and maintain specialized Ultra-Low Dew Point Dry Rooms, ensuring airtight seals and desiccant runner performance to protect moisture‑sensitive battery chemistry.
System Troubleshooting: Diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic failures in facility‑wide utility systems (e.g., steam boilers, cooling towers, and vacuum pumps).
Qualifications
High School Diploma or equivalent required.
Associate Degree in Industrial Maintenance Technology, Mechatronics, Machine Tool Technology, or a related field is highly preferred.
Minimum of 2-5 years of industrial maintenance experience, with a strong background in troubleshooting and maintaining large infrastructure equipment and systems including HVAC, and site-wide compressed air and chilled water systems.
Electrical Proficiency: Ability to troubleshoot 480V 3‑phase power systems and interpret complex electrical schematics.
HVAC/R Expertise: Experience with industrial‑scale refrigeration and climate control, specifically regarding humidity‑controlled environments.
Plumbing & Piping: Familiarity with process piping for deionized (DI) water, compressed air, and chemical delivery.
Automation Knowledge: Basic understanding of PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and Building Management Systems (BMS) to monitor facility health.
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Ability to follow highly specific, step‑by‑step instructions required for working in hazardous battery manufacturing environments.
Understanding of basic electrical designs.
Ability to read and interpret building drawings, including electrical, plumbing, HVAC and structural details.
Strong computer skills (Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and the ability to learn and utilize maintenance software tools effectively.
Excellent problem solving abilities and attention to detail.
Ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast‑paced environment.
Ability to understand and follow all standards of IATF-16949 and VDA 6.3 quality standards (training and awareness provided as needed).
Ability to understand and follow all standards of ISO14001 environmental standards (training and awareness provided as needed).
Physical Requirements & Environment
Cleanroom Protocol: Must be comfortable working in full‑body specialized PPE when entering controlled manufacturing environments.
Physical Stamina: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs., climb ladders, and work in confined spaces or at heights.
Shift Flexibility: Willingness to work rotating shifts, including nights or weekends, to support 24/7 manufacturing operations.
Conditions: Exposure to loud machinery, high‑voltage areas, and temperature‑controlled environments.
What Is “Nice To Have”
5+ years' experience within a specific discipline from electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or structural maintenance.
Licensed electrician or active pursuit of journeyman examination.
Knowledge of Siemens S7 PLC programming.
Benefits
An inclusive and diverse work environment that fosters and encourages professional and personal development.
Highly automated, clean, safe, and temperature‑controlled production environment.
Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance.
HSA and Flexible Spending Accounts.
401K with company match.
Life Insurance (Company paid and additional voluntary life available).
Paid Vacation and 14 Paid Holidays.
Short term and long‑term disability coverage (Company Paid).
Tuition reimbursement.
