1st Shift Maintenance Technician

Maintenance Technician — Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry (WAF)

Location: 838 S. 16th Street, Manitowoc, WI 54220

Schedule: 1st shift: Monday – Friday, 6 am – 2 pm

If you’d rather fix the root cause than swap parts and hope — you’ll fit in here.

As a WAF employee, you will enjoy the benefits of:

• Competitive pay ($30-$40/hr) + weekly pay
• Overtime opportunities
• Health, dental, vision, and other insurances are available
• 401(k) with employer pension contribution
• $400/month childcare reimbursement
• Employee – driven charitable giving
• Stable, family-owned company

What you'll be wrenching on and troubleshooting:

• Furnaces & melt systems: High-temp, high-stakes uptime
• Hydraulic & pneumatic: Circuit diagnosis, seal & valve work
• Motors & VFDs: Electrical troubleshooting, drive configuration
• Conveyors & sand systems: Mechanical & structural rebuilds
• Preventative maintenance: PM schedules, inspections, documentation
• Breakdown response: Fast diagnosis, root cause — not part-swapping

We want someone who can read a schematic, trace a fault to the source, and leave it better than they found it. If your instinct is to understand the problem before reaching for a part — you'll fit here.

What you need to succeed:

• 2+ years industrial maintenance — foundry, manufacturing, or heavy equipment
• Hands-on electrical troubleshooting: motors, controls, VFDs
• Hydraulic and pneumatic system diagnosis
• Comfortable reading schematics and wiring diagrams
• Comfortable working in heat, tight spaces, and a physically active environment
• Team-first — you take pride in the shift running clean

If you're a hands-on technician who takes pride in solving problems the right way — apply today!
