Industrial Maintenance Technician

Overview

Keep the Plant Running. Solve Problems. Build Your Skills.

Are you the person people call when a piece of equipment isn't working and you want to figure out why?

Separation Technologies is looking for a hands-on Industrial Maintenance Technician to join our growing operation in York Haven, PA . This shift will be 3rd shift - 4 am to noon initially then transitioning to 11 pm - 7 am.

This is a practical, problem-solving maintenance role. You'll work directly on the equipment that keeps our operation running, including conveyors, motors, pumps, fans, dryers, separation equipment, pneumatic systems, and automated process equipment.

You don't need to know everything on day one.

We're looking for people with a strong mechanical or electrical foundation who enjoy troubleshooting, working with their hands, learning new systems, and solving problems. If you have industrial maintenance experience, we want to talk with you. If your experience comes from another skilled trade, technical school, apprenticeship, military maintenance, or a similar hands-on environment, we want to hear from you too.
