Role Overview

In the heart of Jackson, Mississippi, Cintas Corporation is on the lookout for skilled Maintenance Technician II professionals to join our dynamic team at our state-of-the-art industrial laundry facility located at 39213. As a Maintenance Technician II, you'll play a pivotal role in ensuring our operations run smoothly 24/7, keeping the uniforms and linens of businesses across the region pristine and ready for the workday. This isn't just a job—it's a career where your technical expertise directly impacts the success of over a million businesses nationwide that rely on Cintas to keep their facilities clean, safe, and professional.

Picture this: You arrive at the Jackson facility, a bustling hub where massive industrial washers hum, dryers roar, and conveyor systems transport thousands of garments daily. Your expertise in repairing, maintaining, installing, and troubleshooting these complex machines—from high-capacity washers and dryers to intricate steam tunnels, boilers, and conveyor belts—makes you indispensable. With 5+ years of industrial maintenance experience, you'll tackle preventive and predictive maintenance schedules, perform precise boiler chemical testing, execute welding tasks like MIG, TIG, ARC, cutting, and brazing, and mentor our Maintenance Technician I team members. Safety is paramount; you'll identify and resolve concerns proactively while maintaining impeccable housekeeping standards indoors and out.

Requisition Number 215131 represents more than a posting—it's your gateway to a stable, rewarding career in a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. Full-time, first-shift position in the Rental organization under the Maintenance job category, where regular employee status means long-term security and growth.

Day in the Life

Your day as a Maintenance Technician II at Cintas in Jackson, Mississippi, begins at dawn with a safety briefing. Donning your Cintas uniform—complete with flame-resistant protection—you review the day's preventive maintenance schedule on your tablet, pulling up blueprints and digital logs via Microsoft Office tools. First up: inspecting the boiler room. You test chemical levels, make precise adjustments to ensure optimal performance, preventing costly downtime.

By 8 AM, you're deep into troubleshooting a conveyor system jam. Drawing on your blueprint-reading prowess and years of industrial experience, you diagnose a misaligned roller bearing, disassemble it swiftly, and weld a custom repair using TIG techniques—all while documenting every step for compliance records. Lunch brings camaraderie with fellow technicians, swapping stories of military maintenance days or HVAC triumphs.

Afternoon brings variety: mentoring a Technician I on steam tunnel maintenance, responding to an emergency dryer alarm (quickly traced to a faulty sensor), and coordinating with an outside HVAC vendor for system evaluation. You end the shift inventoried, housekeeping pristine, and records updated, knowing you've kept production humming. Standing for up to 7 hours demands stamina, but the satisfaction of a flawlessly running facility? Priceless. Overtime opportunities and on-call rotations add earning potential in this essential services industry.
