About this role
Golden Pet Manufacturing's Richfield facility is seeking a Maintenance Technician for third shift who will keep production machinery running smoothly through preventative maintenance, diagnostics, and repairs. You'll perform hands-on work including disassembly, cleaning, reassembly, and calibration of mechanical systems, while also testing equipment to identify and troubleshoot malfunctions. The role involves documenting all maintenance activities, coordinating with your supervisor on special projects and installations, and ensuring newly repaired equipment operates correctly before returning to production.
The ideal candidate has a high school diploma or GED and ideally two to three years of combined mechanical and electrical experience, plus two years in facilities maintenance.

Beyond the work itself, Golden Pet Manufacturing offers substantial benefits including fully covered medical, dental, and vision insurance for employee-only plans, six paid sick and mental health days, 401k matching up to 3.5%, an employee stock ownership plan, and tuition reimbursement for ongoing education. The company also emphasizes community involvement through charitable giving and hosts team events to build workplace culture.
