Bring high-speed manufacturing to life as our Automation & Mechatronics Maintenance Technician

Onsite Job Fair: January 22nd, 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm • 1400 North Goodman Street, Rochester, NY 14609

Step onto a production floor where precision and pace go hand-in-hand. As part of a cross-functional maintenance group supporting a global eye health leader, you’ll keep sophisticated lines running, partner closely with Operations Technicians and Engineers, and help ensure every shift meets its output goals.

A day in the life

You start by reviewing the previous shift’s notes and planning preventive maintenance to prevent recurring faults. When an alarm hits, you dive into mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, or hydraulic systems—reading prints, tracing I/O, checking PLC/HMI behavior, and documenting findings. Between events, you collaborate on line improvements, assist with offline rebuilds, and communicate status clearly to the next team and your Plant Maintenance Supervisor.

Shifts and schedule

• Two 12-hour options with built-in overtime and regular days off:
• Rotating Day/Night Shift: Week 1: Mon/Tues (6 AM–6 PM), Fri/Sat/Sun (6 PM–6 AM) • Week 2: Wed/Thurs (6 AM–6 PM)
