CNC Maintenance Technician

About the role

We are looking for a skilled Maintenance Technician specialized in CNC equipment to ensure continuous, safe, and efficient operation of our production lines in Linares, Mexico. The role involves preventive, corrective and predictive maintenance on a variety of CNC machines and auxiliary systems, supporting high‑quality manufacturing output.

Key responsibilities

• Carry out preventive, corrective and predictive maintenance on CNC machining centers, CNC and conventional lathes, automated production equipment and auxiliary systems such as compressors, pumps and hydraulic circuits.
• Diagnose and troubleshoot electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic failures, interpreting power, control, pneumatic, hydraulic and mechanical diagrams.
• Perform machine adjustments, alignments, leveling and calibrations; maintain control systems, sensors, actuators, VFDs and PLCs (basic/intermediate level).
• Participate in line start‑ups and validate equipment after maintenance activities.
• Document work orders in the CMMS (e.g., MP9) and follow safety procedures including LOTO, work at heights and confined‑space entry.
• Contribute to continuous‑improvement projects aimed at reducing failures and increasing OEE, while keeping the work area organized according to 5S principles.

Required profile

• 2–5 years of experience in industrial maintenance, preferably with CNC machinery and production lines.
• Proven ability to troubleshoot under operational pressure.
• Technical degree in Industrial Maintenance, Mechatronics, Electromechanics or related field; a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering is a plus.

Required skills

• Maintenance of CNC machining centers (Fanuc, Haas, Mazak or similar) and CNC/conventional lathes.
• Industrial electricity: reading schematics, electric motors, contactors, relays and protection devices.
• Electrical control: sensors (inductive, capacitive, photo‑electric) and actuators.
• Hydraulics and pneumatics: diagram interpretation, valve, pump and cylinder troubleshooting.
• Industrial mechanics: power transmission (belts, chains, gears), shaft alignment and bearings.
• Basic arc welding and basic PLC programming (Allen‑Bradley, Siemens).
• Variable Frequency Drive operation, multimeter, calipers, micrometer, thermography and vibration analysis.
• Familiarity with SCADA systems, CMMS (MP9) and safety standards (LOTO, confined‑space, work‑at‑heights).
