  • Teknor Apex
  • Brownsville, TN

Job Description

Are you the go-to fixer for complex mechanical systems?

Imagine applying your skills at a company that began as a small Rhode Island tire store in 1924 and now operates nine U.S. locations plus sites in Belgium, Singapore, Germany, and China. Teknor Apex is still privately owned and led by the founder’s family—where trusted relationships and craftsmanship drive how we deliver custom compound solutions.

Your mission

Uptime matters. You’ll safeguard reliability across production and facilities by diagnosing issues quickly, executing precise repairs, and planning work that prevents the next breakdown.

What you’ll do

  • Make safety your default—comply with all procedures and safe-work practices.
  • Service, replace, and repair hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical devices.
  • Troubleshoot and repair equipment such as pumps, motors, compressors, conveyors, blowers, dust collectors, fans, filters, heat exchangers, tanks, valves, gearboxes, and extruders.
  • Install, maintain, and repair piping systems; install screw pipe and operate a pipe threader.
  • Weld, cut, and fabricate parts; install metalwork as needed.
  • Perform PMs and complete clear, timely work-order documentation.
  • Leverage general knowledge of facilities systems: boilers, pumps, de‑aerator, control room, air compressors, chiller, dryers, pneumatic controls, valves, and HVAC.
  • Operate maintenance shop equipment and standard tools.
  • Read and interpret mechanical drawings, manuals, and technical bulletins.
  • Use an electrical tester to safely verify power, fuses, breakers, and switches.
  • Operate a forklift, scissor lift, and jenny boom.
  • Plan and organize your workload to meet deadlines and support production schedules.
  • Install, service, and repair equipment promptly to minimize downtime.
  • Bring and maintain a full set of appropriate hand tools.
  • Maintain excellent housekeeping across shop and plant areas.

Required background

  • Welding and fabrication experience.
  • Proficiency installing screw pipe and running a pipe threader.

Physical demands

  • Lift 30 pounds overhead at least four times during an 8-hour day.
  • Comfortable climbing and working from a ladder.

Why Teknor Apex? Because here, your mechanical know-how directly supports customers worldwide—and you’ll do it alongside teammates who believe, like Jon Fain, that manufacturing is a team sport.
