Job Description

Ready to become an owner while maintaining cutting-edge CNC equipment in a climate-controlled, state-of-the-art facility?

Pave Talent is hiring on behalf of our client, a 115-year-old, 100% employee-owned global leader in food processing equipment manufacturing with 80% market share. Located in Chesterton, Indiana, they're known for their innovation-driven, collaborative, never-had-a-layoff culture. With over 2,000 production assets under one roof, this is an opportunity to work with diverse CNC equipment while building long-term wealth through their ESOP program.

The Role's Impact

As a CNC Equipment Maintenance Specialist on second shift, you'll be the critical technical expert ensuring production continuity across a sophisticated manufacturing operation. Your deep CNC troubleshooting skills will directly impact the company's ability to serve major clients in the food processing industry. This isn't just maintaining equipment - you'll be diagnosing complex control system failures, aligning precision components, and solving problems that require both mechanical aptitude and advanced electronics knowledge.

What You'll Do

  • Diagnose and repair Fanuc, Allen-Bradley, and Siemens CNC control systems using advanced troubleshooting methodology including ladder logic analysis and servo diagnostics
  • Perform precision mechanical repairs including turret alignments on CNC lathes, spindle troubleshooting, ballscrew replacement, and axis calibration
  • Execute electrical troubleshooting across 480V, 270V, 120V, and 24V DC systems using schematics, multimeters, and systematic diagnostic approaches
  • Maintain and repair hydraulic and pneumatic systems integral to CNC machine operation
  • Read and interpret PLC ladder logic to troubleshoot production equipment issues and implement operational improvements
  • Collaborate with programming team and production staff to minimize downtime and optimize machine performance
  • Participate in on-call rotation to support weekend production needs
  • Document repairs and maintain detailed maintenance records for 2,000+ facility assets

Required Qualifications

  • High school diploma or equivalent with 74 accredited hours in Industrial Maintenance program, OR minimum 7+ years hands-on CNC maintenance experience
  • Extensive experience troubleshooting and repairing Fanuc CNC controls (critical requirement)
  • Demonstrated expertise in CNC mechanical repairs: turret alignment, spindle diagnostics, servo motor troubleshooting, and precision component replacement
  • Proficiency reading electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic schematics
  • Strong PLC troubleshooting skills with ability to read and modify ladder logic programs
  • Multicraft capabilities spanning electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems
  • Experience using diagnostic tools including multimeters, oscilloscopes, and specialized CNC diagnostic software
  • Valid driver's license and availability for on-call rotation (Friday-Sunday)
  • Stable work history demonstrating long-term commitment to previous employers

Preferred Qualifications

  • Associate's degree in Industrial Maintenance, Mechatronics, or related field
  • Experience with Allen-Bradley and Siemens PLC systems in addition to Fanuc
  • Background maintaining CNC equipment in discrete manufacturing or job shop environment with high asset count
  • Certification in CNC maintenance, Fanuc controls, or related technical credentials

Comprehensive Benefits & Ownership Package

  • Market-competitive compensation with shift differential and built-in overtime opportunity (45-hour work week, Monday-Thursday, 3:15 PM - 3:00 AM)
  • Quarterly performance bonus averaging 10% of annual salary based on overall company performance
  • 100% Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) with annual share distributions - become an owner from day one and build long-term wealth
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance starting on your first day with low premiums and deductibles
  • Free on-site health clinic available to you and your dependents
  • 2 weeks paid vacation available immediately upon hire
  • 401(k) with employer matching for additional retirement savings beyond ESOP
  • Free life insurance coverage
  • Paid holidays plus extra weekend day incentive for second shift
  • Free 24/7 access to on-site workout center with personal trainers
  • Education reimbursement program including annual OEM-sponsored technical training
  • Climate-controlled 70-degree shop environment year-round
  • Clear advancement path to CNC Equipment Maintenance Specialist Level II (5-year progression)
  • Relocation assistance available for qualified candidates willing to relocate to Northwest Indiana

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Join a company that has never had a layoff in 115 years and became 100% employee-owned in 2016 to ensure its values endure. You'll work on equipment that cuts food products consumed by 5.6 billion people globally every day - 95% of the world's potato chips are cut on machines built in this facility. With ongoing facility expansions and a commitment to cutting-edge manufacturing technology, you'll have job security, ownership stake, and continuous learning opportunities while working with a close-knit maintenance team that values every member's expertise.
