Maintenance Automation Engineer

Diversified Botanics operates at the intersection of wellness and operational rigor. We build products and processes that hold up under scrutiny—not just speed. Our teams move with urgency, but never without evidence, accountability, and respect for the work. This is a place for people who take pride in precision, understand the cost of shortcuts, and show up ready to contribute to a team that runs tight by design.

Note to Recruitment Agencies

Diversified Botanics does not engage external recruiting agencies. All candidates must apply directly.

What You’ll Do

You will serve as the primary technical owner for production equipment performance, uptime, and reliability. You will diagnose issues at the line, establish maintenance standards, and coordinate with external OEMs, integrators, and engineering partners when advanced support is required. Your work directly protects quality, safety, and throughput.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as the on-site technical authority for filling, packaging, and support systems, including encapsulators, conveyors, labelers, heat tunnels, and transfer systems.

• Troubleshoot mechanical and foundational electrical issues (AC/DC circuits, sensors, motors, drives).

• Establish baseline preventive maintenance standards, documentation, and schedules across production equipment.

• Coordinate with OEMs, vendors, and external engineers for advanced diagnostics, repairs, or system upgrades.

• Capture all maintenance activity accurately in digital work order and tracking systems.

• Support facility infrastructure, utilities, and equipment installations.

• Operate forklifts, scissor lifts, and other equipment safely when required.

• Uphold safety, GMP, and manufacturing standards without compromise.

You’ll Thrive Here If You

• Take ownership naturally and don’t wait for structure to be handed to you.

• Think in systems, not just fixes, and document what you learn.

• Stay calm under pressure and move decisively when uptime is on the line.

• Communicate clearly with operators, leadership, and external partners.

• Lean into technology, data, and automation rather than avoiding them.

You May Struggle Here If You

• Need constant direction or established processes before acting.

• Prefer repetitive, narrowly scoped tasks.

• Avoid accountability for outcomes.

• Expect engineering titles or authority without first earning operational trust.

What You Bring

• 2–5+ years maintaining, troubleshooting, or operating production equipment in manufacturing, packaging, or a regulated environment.

• Strong mechanical aptitude with foundational electrical troubleshooting skills.

• Experience building or running preventive maintenance programs.

• Comfort working in a high-velocity, safety-critical environment.

• Experience with digital maintenance or work order systems.

• Valid driver’s license.

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to BellatRx or similar filling and packaging systems.

• Experience in food, supplement, pharmaceutical, or GMP-regulated manufacturing.

• Foundational exposure to automation, PLC logic, or control systems.

• Bilingual (English/Spanish).
