Job Description

Since its founding over 80 years ago, Krispy Kreme's focus has remained the same - making fresh, premium quality doughnuts inspired by their founder's original recipe. The brand's iconic Hot Light lets guests know when doughnuts are being made fresh in shop so they can enjoy hot doughnuts fresh off the line. To make Krispy Kreme's in-shop experience even sweeter, many shops across the globe feature the brands one-of-a-kind doughnut theatre, an immersive, interactive experience through which guests can see Krispy Kreme's melt-in-your-mouth doughnuts being made right before their eyes.

Krispy Kreme's Maintenance Specialist in our Doughnut Factory is critical to keeping our delicious doughnuts running on our doughnut-making equipment, so our customers receive their orders on time.


HERE'S A TASTE OF WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

You'll ensure our doughnut-making equipment and Doughnut Factory facility are running in tip-top shape. Part of your daily routine will include preventative maintenance on all factory equipment, troubleshooting equipment issues and performing repairs. We have a Preventative Maintenance Calendar that shows your daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, bi-annual and annual maintenance to be completed to help keep you on track for impeccable equipment maintenance. You'll use personal protective equipment (PPE) when working on our doughnut-making equipment. Part of the work to perform includes assembling mechanical components and electrical devices, and possibly performing welding and fabricating as needed.

There might be other duties too, as

the world of doughnut-making is ever-changing!

YOUR RECIPE FOR SUCCESS

The skills needed to get the job done will require you to be proficient in at least five areas and have knowledge of the others: Automated equipment operation, including setup, tear-down and repair; Boiler operation; Electrical wiring; Hydraulics; Pipe-fitting and plumbing; Pneumatics, Sheet metal; Welding; Shop machinery; PLC troubleshooting and programming. Of course, a strong work ethic, being part of a team, and the ability to manage multiple tasks are important too.

You'll need a high

school diploma / equivalency or GED. It's extra-awesome if you have 3-5 years

of experience in an industrial plant and/or have completed a technical program

or certification in electric, welding or general machine maintenance.

This role requires you to reach, bend, twist, stand, kneel, carry, grasp, lift, climb, and perhaps sit to repair and maintain our doughnut making equipment and facility repairs. You'll need to be able to lift a decent amount of weight, up to 25 pounds, and occasionally 50 pounds. The doughnut factory can be warm inside as well as a bit noisy, with all that equipment producing delicious doughnuts.
