McMaster-Carr is an innovative e-commerce company helping customers build and repair anything because we offer everything.
Curious, exceptional people are always at the center of our evolution, turning new challenges and disruptive technologies into opportunities to learn new skills and get important work done that makes customers' lives better.
Our national headquarters in the Chicagoland area is the largest and most operationally complex facility in our network - a modern distribution center, office, and data center campus where same-day shipping, speed and excellence aren't aspirations, they're the standard.
At the same time, we maintain the critical infrastructure that keeps the entire site running - electrical distribution, HVAC, fire protection, building utilities, powered industrial vehicles and data center infrastructure.
We're looking for a credible maintenance and engineering leader who's comfortable walking the floor and troubleshooting alongside technicians in the morning, partnering with senior leadership on reliability strategy in the afternoon, and refining maintenance programs that keep everything running in between.

We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and dedicated to providing employees a workplace with reasonable accommodations and free of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation.
At McMaster-Carr, we do not make employment decisions based on age, ethnicity, citizenship status, military status, gender identity and expression, race, religion, disability status, marital status, sexual orientation, or any other legally protected group.
