Role Overview

In the heart of Round Rock, Texas, Cintas is on the hunt for dedicated Maintenance Technician I professionals to join our 3rd shift team. This role is the backbone of our industrial laundry facility at 78665, where you'll dive into the world of high-volume equipment upkeep. Picture this: the hum of massive washers churning through thousands of uniforms, dryers roaring with heat, and conveyor systems gliding materials smoothly through the night. As a Maintenance Technician I, you're not just fixing machines; you're ensuring that over a million businesses across the United States wake up to clean, ready-to-wear uniforms every day. Cintas, headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, has built an empire on reliability, and your skills will keep our Round Rock operation running like clockwork.

Requisition Number 213955 calls for individuals with 2+ years of industrial repair experience, whether from factories, processing plants, or even military service. You'll assist in everything from boiler tweaks to conveyor fixes, all while standing strong through your 8-hour shift. This isn't entry-level grunt work—it's a skilled position demanding blueprint reading, basic Microsoft Office savvy, and a high school diploma or GED. Preferred perks like HVAC know-how or welding prowess (MIG, TIG, ARC, you name it) will set you apart, but the core is your ability to troubleshoot under pressure on the 3rd shift, when the facility quiets but the mission intensifies.

Day in the Life

Your shift kicks off at 10 PM in Round Rock, Texas, as the day crew wraps up. The facility at 78665 buzzes faintly under fluorescent lights. First task: a walkthrough to spot any lingering issues from production. You grab your toolkit—wrenches, multimeters, blueprints—and dive into preventive maintenance on a steam tunnel that's been flagged. Steam hisses as you check valves and seals, ensuring no leaks compromise safety.

By midnight, a conveyor belt jams. Alarms blare softly; you power down, reference the blueprint on your tablet, and diagnose a worn sprocket. With precision, you replace it, test the run, and log it in our digital system using Microsoft Office tools. No downtime means no delays for tomorrow's deliveries. A quick inventory check reveals low boiler chemicals—you reorder via our portal, keeping stocks optimal.

2 AM brings a dryer fault. Vibration anomalies lead to a bearing swap. Sweat beads as you stand for hours, but your stamina shines. Safety first: you tag out the machine, don PPE, and execute. Housekeeping follows—sweeping debris, wiping panels—indoors and out, maintaining a spotless, safe space. Dawn approaches; you resolve a minor washer sensor glitch, update records, and brief the incoming shift. Clock out at 6 AM, another night of keeping Cintas unbreakable.
