Job Description
Confidential Job Posting: Fabricator / Maintenance Mechanic (Contract-to-Hire) – Industrial Manufacturing | Waukegan, IL
A nationally recognized manufacturer in the building products industry is seeking a Fabricator / Maintenance Mechanic (CTH) to join its 2nd-shift maintenance team. This company has been a staple in U.S. manufacturing for nearly 100 years, operating multiple plants nationwide and producing high-performance building materials used in both commercial and residential construction. With a recession-resistant product line and a long history of promoting talent from within, this is an exceptional opportunity for someone early in their maintenance career who wants long-term stability, training, and growth.
This is a hands-on, industrial role in a high-volume plant environment supporting mission-critical production equipment. The ideal candidate is mechanically inclined, enjoys fabrication/welding, and wants to grow into a fully skilled Industrial Maintenance Technician.
Why This Opportunity Is Unique
True long-term career path: Many employees build entire careers here—including a current Plant Engineer who started as an electrician and has worked across multiple states.
Industry stability: Essential products, recession-safe demand, and national footprint (17 plants).
Strong earning potential:
- Up to $34/hr
National mobility: Ability to transfer to other plant locations across the U.S.
CTH conversion benefits include: Tuition reimbursement, 401(k) match, PTO, paid holidays, and full medical/vision/dental.
This role is perfect for someone who enjoys working with their hands, thrives in a blue-collar environment, and wants to advance into an Industrial Maintenance career.
About the Role
The Fabricator / Maintenance Mechanic will support plant operations by maintaining, repairing, fabricating, and troubleshooting equipment throughout the facility. Although this is a maintenance role, the hiring manager is open to individuals with strong fabrication/welding backgrounds who want to transition into maintenance and grow their skills.
This is a 2nd shift role (2pm–10pm, M–F) with rotating mandatory Saturday shifts and required holiday coverage (alternate schedule).
Note: This is a dusty, loud, temperature-extreme industrial environment—ideal for candidates who appreciate tough, hands-on work and a tight-knit crew.
