Maintenance Engineer (New Graduate Friendly)

Maintenance Engineer (New Graduate Friendly)Role OverviewThe Maintenance Engineer supports the reliability, performance, and safety of manufacturing equipment and facilities. This role is well‑suited for a recent Mechanical Engineering graduate who is mechanically inclined, enjoys hands‑on problem solving, and is eager to learn how equipment works in an industrial environment.You will work closely with experienced maintenance technicians, engineers, and operators to troubleshoot issues, perform preventive maintenance, and help improve equipment reliability and uptime. This position offers strong mentorship, on‑the‑job learning, and exposure to industrial systems, controls, and continuous improvement practices.What You’ll Do(you are not expected to know everything on day one)Perform regular inspections of machinery and equipment to identify potential issues earlyPartner with maintenance technicians to troubleshoot mechanical and electrical equipment problems and help restore equipment to normal operationAssist in selecting tools, methods, and best practices used by maintenance teamsHelp develop and update preventive maintenance procedures and schedulesCreate and maintain clear maintenance records, including repairs and upgradesSupport training efforts for technicians and operators on equipment use and maintenanceWork with reliability and project engineers to investigate equipment failures and identify long‑term solutionsParticipate in root cause analysis and continuous improvement activitiesSupport safety initiatives and ensure maintenance work follows safety guidelines and standard proceduresAssist with tracking maintenance metrics (KPIs) related to uptime, reliability, and performanceCoordinate with contractors and vendors under guidance from senior engineersSupport plant health reviews and improvement initiativesParticipate in equipment upgrades and capital projects, such as:Safety equipmentHVAC systemsAir compressorsUtilities and facility infrastructureFollow Management of Change (MOC) processes to ensure safe and well‑documented equipment changesThis role combines office-based engineering work with hands-on time on the plant floor, offering a great learning environment for early‑career engineers.Work EnvironmentFast‑paced manufacturing environment with exposure to a wide range of equipment and systemsMajority of time spent in the plant supporting maintenance operationsRegular use of computer tools, maintenance systems, and engineering softwareFrequent collaboration with technicians, operators, and engineering teamsWhat You’ll Be Accountable ForSupporting maintenance teams as a technical problem‑solverLearning to troubleshoot equipment issues and helping implement durable solutionsUsing data and observations to recommend short‑ and long‑term improvementsContinuously building your technical skills and plant knowledgeQualifications & ExperienceRequired:Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or closely related engineering/science field)Mechanical aptitude demonstrated through:School projects or labsInternships or co‑opsSenior design projectsPersonal or home mechanical projectsStrong desire to learn industrial equipment, systems, and maintenance practicesPreferred (but not required):Experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment (internships count!)Exposure to any of the following through coursework or projects:Basic mechanical and electrical systemsPLCs, automation, or industrial controlsPreventive maintenance conceptsKnowledge Areas You’ll Grow IntoMechanical fundamentals (energy, forces, mass balance, heat transfer)Equipment and process understanding (pumps, motors, valves, compressors, etc.)Reading P&IDs, schematics, and equipment documentationContinuous improvement methodologies (LEAN, Six Sigma)Reliability and maintenance best practicesWhy This Role Is Great for New GradsHands‑on engineering experience in a real production environmentMentorship from experienced engineers and techniciansExposure to a wide variety of equipment and technologiesStrong foundation for careers in maintenance engineering, reliability, manufacturing, or operations
