Let’s face it. If you are reading this ad, it’s probably not because your hobby is cruising job sites looking to read a literary masterpiece. You’re here because you’re thinking of making a change. That’s a good start because you’re the type of person that looks at what can be gained from change, not what you think you’ll lose. Maybe you’ve outgrown your current position with no more opportunities for advancement.

Perhaps you’re checking to see if you can better yourself and family with a little better pay and benefits. It could be that you don't care for your current work environment or company culture. It’s possible you even read in your latest issue of Maintenace Manager Quarterly that Tru Cut was voted best place to work in the Milky Way for people that are darn good at fixing and maintaining industrial manufacturing equipment.

Whatever the reason, we’re glad you’re here.

When it comes to maintenance, you’ll be the boss, head man, top dog, big cheese, head honcho, number one. You’ll have a team of 5 technicians supporting you, but this is not purely an administrative job. Having a commanding knowledge of hydraulics is equally as important as knowing your team and developing them.

We operate 3 manufacturing and assembly facilities with a complete suite of sheet metal stamping and fabricating equipment. This means you’ll get to play with hydraulics, pneumatics, electrical (3‑phase up to 600 volts), PLC’s, and robots.

It is critical that you know how to effectively operate a computer. PM schedules are maintained in a database and use of our ERP, email, spreadsheets, and MS Teams is a daily occurrence. We’ll teach you anything you’ll need to know specific to our operation.

This is certainly not an entry level position. We do require experience in the maintenance world and experience managing people effectively.

If you simply submit a resume with places you’ve worked and dates, we’re not going to have a clue as to how that directly relates to what we’re looking for.

Be creative!

We provide a full suite of medical, dental, and vision insurances. Several supplemental policies are available as well. You can participate in our 401k with up to a 4% match.

You’ll automatically get a $25,000 company‑funded life insurance policy as well.

We pay for you to stay home on 8 holidays (9 if you’re a veteran) and have paid time off as well.

We take an immense amount of pride in the cleanliness and safety of our…
