Electro-Mechanical Maintenance Technologist (Aerospace Casting)

Contract Role · La Porte, IN · Weekly Pay

Join Pro Services Workforce Solutions as a Maintenance Technician II embedded onsite with a leading aerospace investment casting facility producing jet engine components. You’ll be a Pro Services employee on the customer’s maintenance team in a true multi-craft position with a strong emphasis on electrical troubleshooting and hands-on problem solving.

A day in the life

Your shift begins with a quick scan of the CMMS, picking up reactive work while planning your preventive and predictive tasks. A production line goes down—control voltage reads off. Meter out, Megger ready: you isolate faults from 0–24V control circuits through 110–240V single-phase and up to 480V three-phase. You verify fuses, trace I/O module status lights, and diagnose Allen-Bradley PLC hardware issues at the cabinet. Software changes? Automation has it—you focus on the hardware to restore uptime.

Between calls, you rebuild a gearbox, inspect bearings, swap seals and shafts, and service pneumatic and hydraulic components—on/off and proportional valves, basic pump rebuilds, and seal replacements. You install and test machinery, spec and pull spares, and document everything in the CMMS. You’ll stay moving—expect 6–7 miles of walking per day—coordinating with operators and leaning on strong electrical and mechanical engineering support for complex issues.
