Onsite | Crystal, MN

Seeking a mechanically inclined Maintenance Technician to join a well-established precision grinding shop supporting the aerospace and medical manufacturing industries. This is a hands-on opportunity to work with both manual and CNC machines, grow your skills in preventative maintenance and production, and be part of a collaborative, tight-knit team that values reliability, pride in workmanship, and cross-training.

If you’re someone who enjoys fixing things, keeping machines running smoothly, and learning new skills, this could be a great long-term fit.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on 40–50 grinding machines (manual and CNC).
• Troubleshoot mechanical issues, especially hydraulics, oil systems, cylinders, and water systems.
• Manage and document maintenance logs and reports alongside the shop supervisor.
• Contribute to machine safety tasks, such as welding guards or minor mechanical fixes.
• Assist on the production floor running longer grinding jobs (training provided).
• Help maintain a clean, safe, and efficient work environment.

Schedule Options (All 1st Shift)

Choose the schedule that fits you best:

• 6:00 AM – 2:30 PM
• 7:00 AM – 3:30 PM
• 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM
• Occasional overtime or weekend availability is appreciated but not required.

What We’re Looking For

• 3–5 years of machine maintenance experience in a manufacturing setting.
• Strong mechanical aptitude with an interest in learning grinding operations.
• Experience with both manual and CNC equipment is a plus.
• Ability to read gauges, follow instructions, and do basic shop math.

Pay & Perks

• Hourly Pay: $25–$30+ depending on experience.
• In-house training provided (no certifications required).
• Growth potential – this company likes to promote from within.
• Stable, long-term opportunity with a team that genuinely supports each other.

If you're looking to sharpen your skills (literally) and want to join a place where your mechanical know-how and reliability are valued every day, apply now. This is more than a maintenance job, it’s an opportunity to grow with a team that’s building something precise and lasting.
