Industrial Reliability Technician — Corrugated Manufacturing

Be the force behind uptimeStep into a day where your craftsmanship keeps a corrugator humming, converting lines synced, and a plant running safely and efficiently. As our Industrial Reliability Technician, you’ll install, troubleshoot, repair, and maintain production machinery and facility systems so manufacturing can hit performance targets without missing a beat. You’ll balance planned work (PMs/PdMs) with the unexpected, always aligning with strict safety, quality, and maintenance standards.A day in the lifeStart of shift: review LLumin CMMS assignments, parts availability, and safety priorities.On the floor: perform mechanical and electrical diagnostics on corrugator and converting assets; respond fast to breakdowns to stabilize production.Mid-shift: complete PM/PdM tasks with precision—measure, inspect, document readings, and flag potential failures before they grow.Afternoon: close work orders with complete notes (problem, actions, parts, measurements) and hand off clear status to the next shift.Core technical focusMechanical/electrical troubleshooting, repair, and maintenance on corrugator, converting equipment, and facility systems.Execute work orders: PMs, PdMs, routine repairs, and project tasks—completed correctly within the shift wherever possible.Verify repair effectiveness before releasing equipment back to production; never pass incomplete work without documentation and communication to the Maintenance Supervisor.Engage in structured troubleshooting and root-cause problem solving to eliminate repeat failures.Safety first—alwaysFollow Lockout/Tagout, Arc Flash, PPE, Hot Work, and confined space requirements without exception.Participate in daily safety huddles and maintenance meetings.Preventive & predictive excellencePerform scheduled PM and PdM activities with accuracy and attention to detail.Identify/report potential failures during inspections and suggest improvements to PM scope and frequency.Conduct basic condition monitoring (visual, vibration, temperature, etc., as trained).CMMS discipline (LLumin)Document all work in LLumin CMMS: problem description, work performed, parts used, and measurements/readings.Close work orders on time; create follow-up notifications/work requests as needed.Parts & materials stewardshipIdentify/request required parts and coordinate with MRO/Parts personnel to ensure accuracy.Return unused components to inventory and help correct incomplete or inaccurate parts data.Team play & shift supportCommunicate effectively with Maintenance Supervisors, fellow technicians, and production personnel.Provide clear shift handoffs and support colleagues/departments as needed.Assist with onboarding and training of new technicians when applicable.Continuous improvement mindsetSpot opportunities to reduce downtime, boost reliability, and eliminate chronic issues.Participate in root-cause analysis and recommend equipment/procedural enhancements.Housekeeping & organizationMaintain a clean, organized workspace and follow 5S in shop and production areas.Store tools/materials properly and dispose of scrap appropriately.Additional responsibilitiesSupport weekend, off-shift, and emergency work when required.Assist with project work and capital improvements.Perform other duties as assigned.Education & experienceHigh school diploma or GED required.Technical training or apprenticeship preferred.Experience in corrugated manufacturing or a similar industrial setting preferred.Successfully demonstrate all Class B qualifications.Provide your own tools necessary to perform maintenance tasks.Prior work experience in the corrugated industry (preferred) or in comparably sized manufacturing processes.Skills & abilitiesTechnicalStrong mechanical aptitude: bearings, chains, belts, gearboxes, and related systems.Basic electrical troubleshooting of motors, sensors, switches; drives preferred.Read/interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and OEM manuals.Hands-on experience repairing industrial equipment.Problem solvingUse logical, step-by-step methods to isolate failures and identify root cause vs. symptoms.Ask questions and escalate issues when appropriate.Tools & systemsProficient with hand tools, power tools, and precision measuring instruments.Basic computer skills (CMMS, email, documentation) and the ability to learn/use LLumin CMMS.Communication & teamworkClear communicator across shifts/departments; receptive to instruction and feedback.Collaborative team contributor.Work ethic & accountabilitySelf-motivated, dependable, and punctual with strong ownership of assigned work.Willing to work overtime, weekends, and off-shifts as needed.Mathematical & reasoningRead a tape measure accurately and quickly; calculate percentages, measurements, volume, and rate; apply high-school level math.Solve practical problems in a fast-paced environment and interpret written, oral, diagram, or schedule-based instructions.Technical knowledgeFoundational understanding of industrial equipment operation, production processes, and quality requirements.Familiarity with preventive and predictive maintenance concepts.Certificates & licensesMaintain a current Lift Truck Operator License and any role-specific certifications required for certain areas/equipment.Additional certifications as required (e.g., LOTO, Arc Flash).Physical demandsRegularly stand, walk, talk/hear; frequently use hands, reach, stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl; occasionally sit.Regularly lift/move up to 50 lbs; occasionally up to 100 lbs.Vision: close, distance, color, peripheral, depth perception, and focus adjustment.Work environmentExposure to moving mechanical parts; frequent wet/humid conditions.Occasional high places, fumes/airborne particles, and vibration.Loud noise levels typical of industrial settings.How your performance is measuredOperating standards in quality, cost, safety, customer satisfaction, and productivity (set and communicated annually).Personal growth goals developed jointly each year.Employee relations: professionalism, respect, and communication.Creativity: contributions of new and innovative ideas.You should be proficient inCreating Preventive Maintenance PlansHVAC/R SystemsJourneyman’s LicenseElectrical InstallationElectrical RepairRelay TestingInsulation Resistance TestingService Advisor/WriterEquipment/Parts Counter SalesEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA) CertificationHVAC Service & InstallationHVAC MaintenanceHVAC TroubleshootingHVAC RepairPowerhouse TroubleshootingPowerhouse OperationBoiler CertificationServiceLiquid Propane (LP)Heavy Material HandlingFuel SystemsConduit BendingRigid Metal Conduit (RMT)Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT)Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC)FramingDrywall InstallationLift Truck Repair & MaintenanceRigging & Load HandlingField Service ReadinessGround Support Equipment (GSE) MaintenanceDiesel & Heavy Equipment SystemsPower Take-Off (PTO) & Auxiliary SystemsCrane & Lifting Equipment SystemsAerial & Utility Equipment SystemsDOT & Equipment Inspection ComplianceElectrical Panel InstallationStandby Generator Installation
