Job Description

Join AFB as a Maintenance Mechanic - Where Your Skills Keep Our Mission Moving

At AFB, Our People Matter. It's the cornerstone of who we are and how we operate. As a Maintenance Mechanic, you'll play a crucial role in keeping our operation running safely, smoothly, and efficiently-directly supporting the production of high-quality products that improve the lives and well-being of animals every day.

This is more than a maintenance job. It's a chance to work with a team that values you, supports your growth, and rewards your expertise.

What You'll Do

As a Maintenance Mechanic, you'll take ownership of installing, repairing, and maintaining a variety of machinery and mechanical systems. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities to problem-solve, hands-on. You will:

Complete maintenance repairs and work orders with precision

Perform routine preventative maintenance to keep equipment running at peak performance

Inspect machinery for potential malfunctions using visual and sound-based diagnostics

Use a wide range of hand and power tools

Collaborate with team members in a fast-paced, dynamic environment

Maintain and troubleshoot boilers, mechanical systems, and electrical systems

Set up and install high-speed mechanical seals

Troubleshoot electrical circuits, control systems, motors, and electro-pneumatic systems

Conduct daily wastewater testing and document results

Provide excellent internal customer service and support

We operate with a safety-first mindset-always. You'll uphold essential safety practices such as lockout/tagout, confined space entry, proper PPE use, ladder safety, GMPs, food defense procedures, and more.

What We're Looking For

You'll thrive in this role if you are mechanically inclined, detail-oriented, and committed to getting the job done right the first time. Ideal candidates bring:

2-5 years of maintenance mechanic experience

High School Degree or equivalent

Knowledge of electrical circuits, safety codes, food plant safety standards, and NFPA 70e

Experience with computers and microprocessor systems (Microsoft Word & Excel preferred)

A proactive, problem-solving mindset and dedication to safe work practices

Why You'll Love Working at AFB

We truly believe our people are our greatest strength-and we back that up with industry-leading benefits and a supportive culture.

When you join us, you'll enjoy:

Above-market wages

Annual bonuses based on individual and company performance

401(k) with exceptional company matching (up to 6%)

Comprehensive health coverage-medical, dental, and vision

Annual wellness credits of $600-$1200

Generous paid time off

Paid parental leave (12 weeks for birth parents, 6 weeks for non-birth parents)

Company-paid short- and long-term disability

Tuition reimbursement to support your career growth

Provided uniforms

A supportive workplace where your contributions have real impact

Be Part of Something Meaningful

If you're ready for a role where your mechanical expertise and dedication help make a positive difference every day-while building a rewarding career-we'd love to have you on our team.

Apply today and grow with AFB-where your work matters, and you matter.
