To thrive as a Maintenance Mechanic with Behr, you must have exceptional troubleshooting skills and mechanical aptitude. Using a variety of tools, including soldering equipment, drills, measuring devices, and various hand tools, you will diagnose and repair mechanical, pneumatic, or electrical issues for our equipment. You must be able to read work orders and schematic drawings, be able to operate a forklift and always work safely, which includes wearing a respirator in specific areas. 

 

Mechanics are vital to keeping all our equipment and processes operating efficiently and safely all the time. Every day your duties will include a mix of repairs and preventative maintenance as needed. Our equipment includes conveyors, liquid filling equipment such as pumps and valves, and packaging machines, including balers and taping machines. You’ll do repairs when something is broken and also preventative lubrication, specialized cleaning, and any other maintenance required to keep the equipment running. At all times, you will work with your safety and that of others in mind while keeping a sense of urgency with response times.

You’ll also help with facility maintenance by repairing issues and providing preventative maintenance there as needed. This can include plumbing, electrical, cleaning, painting, or other skills. 

There will be a constant juggling of priorities and tasks, and it will be up to you to be productive while keeping the facility operating as safely and efficiently as possible. 

 

Requirements of the Role: 

3+ years of on-the-job mechanical experience is required (examples include knowledge in troubleshooting hydraulic and pneumatic systems and having the capability to rebuild motor drive systems, replace/rebuild a gear box, and understanding conveying systems, bearings, and drives)
