Job Overview

Mayzo is seeking a hands-on Mechanical Engineer to support our Operations Center in Walterboro, South Carolina. This role is heavily focused on equipment reliability, troubleshooting, and maintaining production uptime within our specialty chemical manufacturing environment.

This is not a design-heavy role — we are looking for someone who enjoys working directly with machinery, diagnosing issues on the floor, and implementing practical solutions to keep operations running efficiently.

The Mechanical Engineer will partner closely with operations and maintenance teams to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve mechanical issues, support equipment repairs and upgrades, and drive improvements that enhance safety, reliability, and performance.

Key Responsibilities

  • Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical equipment issues on the production floor to minimize downtime

  • Perform root cause analysis on equipment failures and implement corrective actions

  • Work directly with maintenance and operations teams to repair, adjust, and optimize machinery

  • Support preventive and predictive maintenance programs to improve equipment reliability

  • Assist with installation, commissioning, and start-up of new or modified equipment

  • Identify and implement practical improvements to existing equipment and processes

  • Provide hands-on support for fabrication, modifications, and mechanical repairs

  • Partner with CNC operators and maintenance technicians to support machining and equipment adjustments

  • Ensure all work is performed in compliance with safety standards and plant procedures

  • Document repairs, modifications, and improvement efforts

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (or equivalent hands-on experience)

  • 2+ years of experience in a manufacturing, plant, or industrial environment

  • Strong hands-on experience with mechanical equipment, troubleshooting, and repairs

  • Ability to diagnose issues with pumps, motors, conveyors, and production machinery

  • Experience performing root cause analysis in a plant setting

  • Comfortable working on the production floor and interacting with operators and maintenance teams

  • Familiarity with fabrication, machining, or equipment modification

  • CAD experience is a plus, but not the primary focus of the role

  • Strong problem-solving mindset with a focus on practical, real-world solutions

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Information (Completion is voluntary)

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.
