With an impressive history spanning 80 years, UniFirst has established itself as a $1.5 billion organization known for its commitment to growth, stability, and a unique family-like culture. Recognized for excellence in various industry rankings, including Selling Power's "Best Companies to Sell For" and Forbes' "Platinum 400 - Best Big Companies," UniFirst is dedicated to fostering a workplace where diversity, inclusion, and employee well-being are prioritized. The company operates in a dynamic environment with substantial opportunities for personal and professional development.
UniFirst is currently seeking a Maintenance Tech II to join its Maintenance Department as a vital member of its community. This role is integral to maintaining the functionality and safety of the company's industrial equipment, systems, and components. The Maintenance Tech II will be responsible for handling repairs, maintenance, installations, and troubleshooting tasks to ensure operational efficiency. The position follows a standard Monday through Friday schedule, with occasional night and weekend overtime required, providing a balanced workweek with opportunities for additional hours. New hires will receive comprehensive on-the-job training to help them quickly adapt and excel in their roles.
In this role, the Maintenance Tech II will undertake a variety of critical tasks, including troubleshooting equipment malfunctions using sophisticated precision measuring and testing instruments, assisting with emergency and routine repairs, and repairing and maintaining Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and associated control systems. The technician will also be tasked with interpreting blueprints, schematics, operation manuals, and manufacturer instructions to carry out effective maintenance and repair. Daily and weekly safety inspections, boiler chemical and wastewater pre-treatment system testing, lubrication of machinery parts, and performing basic welding tasks are also part of the responsibilities.
Given the complexity and safety considerations inherent in this position, the Maintenance Tech II will also utilize advanced technology, such as a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS), to log maintenance activities and track equipment status. This role demands a dedicated, detail-oriented individual who values collaboration, safety, and continuous improvement. The opportunity provides exposure to a comprehensive industrial maintenance environment within a well-established and growth-oriented company.
With an estimated hourly wage ranging from $23.54 to $32.69, actual pay will be based on the candidate's experience, skills, and qualifications, with geographic variations where applicable. UniFirst embraces a highly diverse workforce and reiterates its commitment to equal employment opportunities, welcoming applicants from all backgrounds and beliefs. The company also offers accommodations for applicants with disabilities or medical conditions during the hiring process.
