Contributions

Our more than 100 Maintenance Technicians keep the equipment in our 11 manufacturing facilities in running order, including our highly automated systems. They do this through systematic preventive maintenance that incorporates industry best practices. They also provide quick, effective repairs, when possible. Without our Maintenance Technicians, Manufacturing couldn't produce the volume and quality of products needed to serve our customers.

Opportunities

We continually have openings for Maintenance Technicians in our Bakery, Deli, and Dairy Plants, our fresh food operations, and in Printing Services. These Manufacturing facilities are located in the Atlanta area and in three Florida locations - Deerfield Beach, Jacksonville and Lakeland. Most are full-time positions, but there are some part-time positions. Starting pay rates depend on a technician's knowledge and experience. Future pay increases are based on performance. Shift assignments generally depend on a technician's length of service in each Manufacturing facility.

Qualifications

Required
The required qualifications differ somewhat depending on the specific equipment in each facility. They also differ depending on the level of responsibility for a particular position. In general, however, most of our Maintenance Technicians must be:

proficient in electro mechanics, pneumatics, and hydraulics
able to read and interpret schematics and drawings
experienced in PLC controllers and process instrumentation
practiced in safe work habits
team players with obvious enthusiasm, initiative and pride in work well done, and
self-starters dedicated to continual quality improvement.

Preferred
We prefer to hire individuals who have work experience in a highly-automated manufacturing plant. Previous experience at Publix is also a plus.
