Behavioral
Tell me about a time a machine went down unexpectedly on the production floor. What did you do first?
how they triage under pressure and whether safety comes before speed
Tell me about a repair job that turned out to be more than you could handle in-house. What did you do?
self-awareness about limits and comfort coordinating with outside contractors
Describe a time you had to explain a maintenance issue to a machine operator who wasn't technical. How did you make sure they understood what to do or not do?
ability to communicate clearly with non-maintenance staff on the floor
Tell me about a time you kept a work area organized and safe even when things got busy or messy.
whether tidiness and safe practice hold up under workload, not just in theory
Technical
Walk me through how you'd approach lock out/tag out on a piece of production equipment before starting a repair.
whether the candidate actually knows LOTO steps cold, not just that they've heard of it
What's your system for tracking maintenance records and spare parts inventory so nothing falls through the cracks?
organizational habits and whether they've actually maintained records before, not just fixed things
What kind of equipment have you worked on before, motors, pumps, conveyors, HVAC, and how comfortable are you with each?
actual hands-on breadth versus the range this job will demand
What do you know about OSHA requirements that apply to the kind of maintenance work you'd be doing here?
basic regulatory literacy rather than deep compliance expertise
Situational
How do you decide what preventative maintenance tasks to do on a given day when you've got buildings, grounds, equipment, and vehicles all competing for your time?
prioritization skill across a broad, unglamorous scope of responsibility
Say you find a guard missing from a piece of machinery during a safety audit and the line is currently running product. What do you do?
whether they'll actually stop unsafe operation versus letting production continue
If you got a call on a Saturday because a machine went down, what's going through your head as you head in?
attitude toward the occasional off-hours call and reliability when it happens
How do you handle a situation where a contractor's work on-site doesn't meet your standard or creates a hazard?
willingness to speak up and enforce standards even with outside parties
