Job Description

Build What’s Next With CMC

It’s what’s inside that counts. At CMC, the people inside our recycling centers, fabrication shops, mills, and offices power everything we build. Step into our plant as a Heavy Industrial Maintenance Mechanic and spend your days solving complex mechanical puzzles that keep steel manufacturing moving.

A day in your boots

You start with a safety huddle, then scan your work orders in SAP. A gearbox is running hot — you diagnose the issue with test equipment, verify tolerances with precision instruments, pull the unit with an overhead crane, and replace worn components. Later, you interpret a schematic to track an intermittent fault, document findings, and close out the job with clear notes and corrective actions. All day, you’re the teammate others rely on for craft skill, judgment, and calm under pressure.

What you will take on

• Champion our CMC safety culture and actively participate in all safety programs and PPE practices.
• Troubleshoot mechanical systems, apparatus, and components using hand tools, power tools, and diagnostic equipment to identify root cause.
• Use the SAP maintenance module to access documentation, record time, track parts, and capture corrective actions.
• Demonstrate reliable attendance, follow-through, and flexibility to meet production needs.
• Select correct grades/sizes for bolts, pipe, tubing, cable, and wire.
• Read and apply blueprints, drawings, and schematics.
• Inspect equipment, identify defects, and remove damaged parts using hoists and overhead cranes.
• Apply strong fundamentals in bearings, power transmission, hydraulics/pneumatics, lubrication, welding principles, rigging, overhead cranes, gearboxes, and mobile equipment operation.
• Compile maintenance reports by collecting data and summarizing trends.

What you bring

• Comfort working on your feet — standing, walking, bending — and at heights in hot/cold environments for extended periods.
• Proficiency with precision measuring tools.
• Willingness to work rotating shifts, including weekends and holidays.
• Background in welding, cutting, fabrication, and equipment maintenance preferred.
• Minimum 1 year field experience in heavy industrial operations and/or a manufacturing setting preferred.
