We are placing a Maintenance Mechanic on behalf of a global leader in manufacturing. This position plays a critical role in maintaining, troubleshooting, repairing, and improving production equipment to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable operations.

Veterans with backgrounds such as U.S. Navy Machinist's Mate (MM) and Engineman (EN), U.S. Army 91B Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic, U.S. Air Force 2F0X1 Fuels Specialist, and U.S. Coast Guard Machinery Technician (MK) often possess the mechanical troubleshooting, equipment maintenance, and systems knowledge that align closely with the requirements of this position.

We value candidates who take ownership of equipment reliability, thrive in hands-on environments, and bring a strong commitment to safety, teamwork, and mission accomplishment.
This is not an entry-level maintenance role. Candidates must be able to discuss their experience in detail and demonstrate strong mechanical knowledge gained in a manufacturing, industrial, military, or distribution environment.
