About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of experience in industrial maintenance, manufacturing equipment maintenance, CNC maintenance, machine-tool service, or a related technical field.
  • Strong hands-on experience maintaining and troubleshooting CNC machining equipment.
  • Experience with one or more major CNC or machine-tool manufacturers, such as DMG MORI, Haas, Mazak, Okuma, DN Solutions/Doosan, or similar equipment.
  • Strong mechanical troubleshooting skills, including bearings, spindles, ball screws, linear guides, lubrication systems, hydraulics, pneumatics, pumps, and cooling systems.
  • Working knowledge of industrial electrical systems, motors, sensors, relays, contactors, variable-frequency drives, and machine control systems.
  • Ability to interpret electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, equipment manuals, and original equipment manufacturer technical documentation.
  • Experience developing or executing preventive maintenance programs.
  • Experience working with a computerized maintenance management system or another maintenance/work-order management platform.
  • Strong understanding of Lockout/Tagout and industrial equipment safety practices.
  • Ability to independently troubleshoot equipment failures in a fast-paced production environment.
  • Ability to work safely around industrial machinery and manufacturing operations.
  • Ability to lift, carry, push, or pull equipment and components associated with normal maintenance activities, and work in standing, kneeling, climbing, or other positions as required.
  • Availability to work extended hours and weekends as needed.

Responsibilities

  • Lead preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance activities for CNC machines and other critical manufacturing equipment.
  • Troubleshoot complex mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, lubrication, cooling, and controls-related equipment failures.
  • Support CNC equipment from manufacturers such as DMG MORI, Haas, Mazak, Okuma, DN Solutions/Doosan, and comparable original equipment manufacturers.
  • Diagnose equipment faults, alarms, abnormal operating conditions, and recurring failures.
  • Coordinate equipment repairs, alignments, calibrations, inspections, and original equipment manufacturer service activities.
  • Support installation, commissioning, relocation, and startup of new or relocated manufacturing equipment.
  • Partner with Engineering and Manufacturing teams during equipment modifications and upgrades.
  • Maintain understanding of machine requirements, including compressed air, electrical power, cooling, exhaust, lubrication, and other supporting utilities.
  • Develop and maintain preventive maintenance programs for critical production assets.
  • Establish maintenance frequencies based on original equipment manufacturer requirements, equipment criticality, operating hours, failure history, and production demands.
  • Drive equipment reliability and reduce unplanned downtime through proactive maintenance and root-cause analysis.
  • Track equipment failures and identify recurring reliability issues.
  • Develop corrective actions for chronic equipment problems.
  • Support development and tracking of equipment reliability metrics, including uptime, downtime, preventive-maintenance compliance, mean time between failures, mean time to repair, and repeat failures.
  • Establish equipment criticality rankings and maintenance priorities based on production and operational risk.
  • Maintain accurate asset records within the company's computerized maintenance management system.
  • Develop equipment hierarchies, preventive-maintenance schedules, work orders, maintenance procedures, and asset histories.
  • Ensure maintenance activities, repairs, inspections, and equipment downtime are properly documented.
  • Maintain equipment manuals, drawings, service records, warranties, and original equipment manufacturer documentation.
  • Develop and maintain critical spare-parts inventories for high-value and production-critical equipment.
  • Identify long-lead or high-risk replacement components and establish appropriate stocking strategies.
  • Serve as a primary technical resource for manufacturing equipment breakdowns.
  • Respond to urgent production equipment failures and coordinate recovery efforts.
  • Perform systematic troubleshooting to identify root causes rather than relying solely on component replacement.
  • Coordinate with original equipment manufacturer technical support and third-party service providers when specialized expertise is required.
  • Develop escalation procedures for critical equipment failures that may impact production schedules.
  • Ensure maintenance activities are performed safely and in accordance with company environmental, health, and safety requirements.
  • Follow and reinforce Lockout/Tagout requirements when servicing energized or potentially hazardous equipment.
  • Identify equipment hazards and partner with environmental, health, and safety and Engineering to implement appropriate controls.
  • Verify appropriate machine guarding, interlocks, emergency stops, and safety systems remain functional following maintenance activities.
  • Support safe electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and stored-energy maintenance practices.
  • Participate in equipment-related incident investigations and corrective actions when required.
  • Serve as a primary point of contact for equipment original equipment manufacturers, service technicians, and maintenance vendors.
  • Coordinate service calls, preventive-maintenance visits, repairs, and warranty work.
  • Review vendor scopes, service recommendations, and repair proposals.
  • Track vendor performance, equipment service agreements, and maintenance costs.
  • Develop relationships with critical equipment manufacturers and local service providers to improve response times.
  • Provide technical direction and mentorship to maintenance technicians and other operations personnel.
  • Establish maintenance standards, troubleshooting procedures, and equipment-specific work instructions.
  • Help develop the long-term maintenance organization as the company's manufacturing footprint expands.
  • Partner closely with Manufacturing, Engineering, Facilities, environmental health and safety, Quality, and Operations leadership.
  • Support training and knowledge transfer related to equipment operation, basic troubleshooting, and operator-level maintenance.

Desired Qualifications

  • At least 10 years of industrial maintenance or CNC/machine-tool maintenance experience.
  • Previous experience as a CNC Field Service Technician, Maintenance Lead, Senior Maintenance Technician, or similar role.
  • Original equipment manufacturer-specific training or certifications from DMG MORI, Haas, Mazak, Okuma, Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain, or similar manufacturers.
  • Experience troubleshooting Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain, or similar CNC controls.
  • Experience with programmable logic controller troubleshooting and industrial controls.
  • Experience with 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis machining centers, CNC lathes, mill-turn machines, or other advanced machine tools.
  • Experience supporting manufacturing environments within aerospace, defense, automotive, precision machining, or other high-reliability industries.
  • Experience with predictive-maintenance technologies such as vibration analysis, thermal imaging, oil analysis, or condition monitoring.
  • Experience building maintenance and spare-parts programs in a rapidly growing manufacturing environment.
  • Electrical, mechanical, machining, heating, ventilation and air conditioning, or industrial maintenance trade certification.
