Overview
A long-standing, family-operated frozen food manufacturer in Concord/Vaughan is seeking a skilled Electro-Mechanical Maintenance Technician to join their team on a permanent, straight afternoon shift.
Operating out of an exceptionally clean, audit-certified (BRC / HACCP) facility, you will partner directly with a veteran Lead Maintenance Technician to oversee preventative maintenance and fast-response troubleshooting across automated bakery, freezing, and packaging lines.
Advantages
Competitive Compensation: $35.00 – $38.00/hour with steady year-round hours and overtime opportunities.
Predictable Schedule: Straight afternoon/mid-day shift with no mandatory overnight rotations.
Fully Equipped Tool Room: All specialized tools, diagnostic meters, and shop equipment are provided on-site—no need to transport your personal tools.
Health Benefits: Comprehensive Health Spending Account (HSA) package.
Top-Tier Facility: Work in an ultra-clean, organized, double-A audited food plant with long-tenured management and strong job security.
Direct Impact: Be a critical, recognized technical resource rather than just a number on a massive plant roster.
Responsibilities
Troubleshoot and repair electro-mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic breakdowns on live bakery production lines, continuous spiral freezers, industrial mixers, high-heat commercial ovens, and conveyor systems.
Diagnose automated packaging lines, flow wrappers, vision/fill sensors, and labeling/printing equipment.
Read and interpret electrical schematics, mechanical blueprints, and wiring diagrams to trace faults quickly.
Connect to and troubleshoot PLC systems (Allen-Bradley, Siemens) to clear I/O faults, calibrate sensors, and inspect VFDs and HMIs.
Perform mechanical tear-downs, shaft/bearing replacements, gearbox swaps, pump repairs, and basic welding/fabrication as needed.
Support facility-side systems including refrigeration/chillers, compressed air, and plant wastewater treatment equipment.
Maintain strict adherence to Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), GMP, and HACCP hygiene and safety standards.
Qualifications
Experience: 4+ years of industrial electro-mechanical maintenance experience, ideally within food, beverage, or automated packaging manufacturing.
Electrical & Automation: Proven ability to troubleshoot industrial control panels, 24V–480V circuits, relays, sensors, and diagnose basic PLC inputs/outputs.
Mechanical Systems: Solid diagnostic capabilities with mechanical drive assemblies, hydraulics, pneumatics, gearboxes, pumps, and chain/belt conveyors.
Certifications: Industrial Millwright (433A) or Industrial Electrician (442A/309A) is an asset, but experienced, unlicensed technicians with strong dual-trade food plant backgrounds are welcome to apply.
Attributes: Strong troubleshooting autonomy, attention to detail, and a collaborative personality suited for a close-knit technical team.
