About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Maintenance & Automation Technician to serve as a key technical authority at our state-of-the-art Cadorago Distribution Center. In this highly autonomous role, you will bridge the gap between complex process automation and hands-on electromechanical maintenance.

• Automation & Control Systems: Lead localized programming modifications and automation optimization initiatives across production equipment and facilities.

• External Partner Coordination: Manage relationship-critical technical suppliers and coordinate specialized subcontractors during on-site interventions.

• Strategic Maintenance Planning: Contribute valuable technical insights to the local maintenance budget and overall site reliability strategy.

Your Profile

• Experience: Minimum of 3 years of successful maintenance experience within an industrial or manufacturing environment (experience in paper converting, slitting/rewinding, or adhesive tape industries is highly advantageous).

• Technical Troubleshooting: Demonstrated ability to independently diagnose and repair highly automated electromechanical systems.

• Schematics & Drafting: Strong capability to read and analyze complex electrical, pneumatic, and mechanical technical drawings.

• Automation Networks: Practical experience interfacing with hardware and software across industrial automation networks.

• Technology Ecosystems: Hands-on familiarity with Siemens or Rockwell PLC systems and software is considered a major advantage.

• Languages: Fluent in written and spoken Italian is mandatory; proficiency in English is highly valued.

We believe in taking care of our team with a comprehensive, well-rounded benefits package:

• Health & Security: Private health insurance (including partial dental coverage) alongside comprehensive life and personal injury insurance (covering both professional and extra-professional activities).

• Future Security: Corporate pension scheme with additional company-matched contributions to the Fon.te fund.

• Work-Life Balance: A flexible weekly schedule based on an ordinary 38.5-hour workweek.
