Maintenance Technician II Careers at Cintas in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Role Overview

In the heart of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Cintas Corporation stands as a beacon of reliability for businesses across the United States. As a Maintenance Technician II on the 2nd shift, you'll play a pivotal role in keeping our state-of-the-art industrial laundry facility humming efficiently. Picture this: the rhythmic hum of massive washers and dryers processing thousands of uniforms daily, conveyor systems gliding materials seamlessly, and boilers generating the steam power that fuels it all. Your expertise ensures this symphony never skips a beat.

With over 5 years of industrial maintenance experience required, this position demands a seasoned professional who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment. You'll repair, maintain, install, and troubleshoot complex equipment like washers, dryers, steam tunnels, conveyors, and boilers. From performing precise welding—MIG, TIG, ARC, cutting, and brazing—to conducting boiler chemical testing and adjustments, your technical prowess will directly impact our ability to serve more than one million businesses nationwide. Safety is paramount; you'll resolve concerns proactively, mentor junior technicians, and respond to emergency alarms with calm precision.

Philadelphia's industrial landscape provides the perfect backdrop for this role. Located at our facility in the 19131 zip code, you'll contribute to Cintas' mission of helping businesses get Ready™ for the workday. This isn't just maintenance—it's the backbone of operational excellence in a Fortune 500 company headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Day in the Life

Your shift begins at 3:00 PM as the afternoon sun dips over Philadelphia's skyline. After clocking in, you review the maintenance log from the previous shift, noting any overnight issues with the conveyor system or boiler pressure fluctuations. Donning your Cintas-provided safety gear, you head to the boiler room for your first task: chemical testing. Drawing samples, you analyze pH levels and make precise adjustments to ensure optimal performance, preventing costly downtime.

Next, a dryer alerts with unusual vibrations. Grabbing your toolkit, you troubleshoot the issue—diagnosing a worn bearing. With blueprint in hand, you disassemble the component, perform the repair using your TIG welding skills, and reassemble it flawlessly. By 5:00 PM, it's back online, processing uniforms for local hospitals and restaurants.

Dinner break coincides with mentoring a Maintenance Technician I. Over coffee in the break room, you explain predictive maintenance techniques, demonstrating how to use vibration analysis tools on the steam tunnel. Post-break, you're welding reinforcements on a conveyor frame, sparks flying as you ensure structural integrity. An emergency alarm sounds at 9:00 PM—a washer malfunction. You sprint to the scene, isolate the fault (a faulty motor controller), and have it resolved in under 30 minutes, averting a production halt.

The night winds down with housekeeping duties: sweeping the shop floor, organizing inventory, and updating digital records in Microsoft Office. By 11:30 PM, you sign off, knowing your work kept Philadelphia's businesses clean and ready. This rhythm—technical challenges, teamwork, and tangible impact—defines your day at Cintas.
