Sr. Electro-Mechanical Maintenance Technician
Job Description
Job DescriptionDescription:
We’re seeking a Sr. Electro-Mechanical Maintenance Technician to own equipment performance, uptime, and safety at our high-throughput automated cannabis packaging facility. This is a critical role — you will not just fix machines; you’ll build the preventive and predictive systems and technical culture that scale reliability across shifts.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in early-stage environments, takes full ownership of outcomes, and understands that throughput and safety go hand-in-hand.
Key Responsibilities
- Diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic issues across packaging lines
- Build and execute a proactive Preventive Maintenance (PM) program with strong documentation
- Conduct structured Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for all unplanned downtime
- Maintain critical spare parts inventory and ensure rapid part availability
- Coordinate with OEM vendors, field techs, and engineering when escalations are needed
- Ensure compliance with OSHA, lockout/tagout, and all safety protocols
- Train operators and mechanics on minor interventions and maintenance best practices
- Own equipment-related documentation (PM logs, RCAs, FMEAs, run logs, etc.)
Requirements:
- 5+ years in mechanical or maintenance roles in automated manufacturing environments
- Experience troubleshooting integrated systems (PLC, pneumatics, motors, sensors)
- Demonstrated ability to lead RCA and eliminate root causes
- Built or managed PM schedules and CMMS systems
- Comfortable training frontline operators and newer mechanics
- Strong written documentation habits: obsessive about run logs and maintenance tracking
- Startup or high-growth experience preferred — ability to work with urgency and autonomy
Why Join Us?
We’re not just building a facility — we’re creating the future of automated cannabis production. You’ll have the chance to design systems from scratch, leave your mark on a rapidly scaling operation, and work alongside a team that values speed, rigor, and excellence.
