Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

About your past

Tell me about a time you saw a safety hazard and fixed or reported it.

What they are checking: Whether they model safety, which the posting expects of maintenance staff.

What would you do

Some troubleshooting has to be done with equipment running. How do you keep yourself safe?

Production wants the line back up now, but you think the part needs to be replaced. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they can explain risk to supervisors and make a sound call under pressure.

How do you hand off an unfinished repair to the next shift?

About the work

A film line goes down mid-shift. Walk me through how you troubleshoot it.

What they are checking: Whether they troubleshoot in a logical order, which keeps downtime short and fixes the real cause.

Walk me through how you perform lockout/tagout before a repair.

What they are checking: Whether they know every step of LOTO and never skip one.

What experience do you have with electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and mechanical systems?

What they are checking: Their range across the systems that run extrusion and film equipment.

How do you read and use electrical schematics or PLC diagnostics?

What they are checking: Whether they can find faults in controls, which separates strong technicians from parts changers.

How do you decide what preventive maintenance tasks matter most?

What they are checking: Whether they understand PM as a way to prevent failures, not a box to check.
