We are looking for a talented Mechanical Maintenance - Level III (2nd shift) to join our team specializing in Manufacturing for our Cummins Inc. facility in Jamestown, NY.
In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:

Elevate workmanship and quality by applying high standards of craftsmanship, following diagrams and specifications precisely, performing quality inspections, and raising issues early to prevent costly failures.
Reduce downtime and improve reliability by supporting failure analysis, documenting preventive and corrective maintenance, and providing feedback that strengthens the preventive‑maintenance system.
Enhance operational efficiency by scheduling maintenance around production needs, identifying and reducing manufacturing constraints, and keeping work areas clean, organized, and audit‑ready.
