NO DIRECT LASER EXPERIENCE?

If you have strong industrial maintenance experience on other automated fabrication equipment, such as CNC, plasma, waterjet, or press brake, we are willing to train the right person on our laser systems. Tell us about that experience when you apply.

SCHEDULE AND PAY

1st shift. Pay is commensurate with experience.

WHY SCHEBLER?

At Schebler, the equipment you maintain is what gets our products out the door. When a laser is running right, it shows up in everything we ship.

You'll work alongside a collaborative team with the autonomy to own your work and decide how a problem gets solved. You'll also work across a wide range of equipment rather than the same machine every shift.

If you enjoy diagnosing problems other people walk away from and keeping good equipment in good shape, we'd love to connect.

TO APPLY

Please submit your resume along with details about your laser or automated equipment experience. We look forward to hearing from you!
