Archived DC Maintenance Mechanic

[theissueoftissue]

Any DC peeps wanna give a run down on this position? Hours? Pay? Job duties? Uniform?

 

[xny123]

Our DC has these shifts:

• B1: Tuesday-Friday 6am-4pm
• B2: Tuesday-friday 4pm-2am
• A1: Saturday-Monday 6am-6pm
• A2: Saturday-Monday 6pm-6am
• B3 Tuesday-Friday(?) 9pm-7am(?)

Pay will vary depending on DC location. Mine pays high 20s, maybe low 30s/hour

Duties include preventative maintenance on everything, and fixing anything/everything that breaks.
They use to maintain rolling stock, but now that is maintained by Crown employees.

Uniforms: provided; Green shirt/black pants usually

Do they typically work as a crew or solo?

 

[dabeastfromtheeast]

Either/or, depending on what they're doing. But it's a very small crew. My shift has 4 mechanics. So likely more solo than anything else.

Doesn’t sound like a bad gig at all

I read somewhere that there are 3 levels. One works on the machines inside, one does building specific PM tasks, and the other works on trucks and trailers. It was a long time ago I read it so I’m probably wrong

I’ve seen tons of trailers that need work. I thought all hauling is contracted out so no maintenance on the trucks. Maybe that’s a ADCANTS situation?

Target owns the trailers, not the trucks. I can’t see the trucking companies taking responsibility for trailer maintenance, but Target could contract that out separately.

 

[dabeastfromtheeast]

Correct. We own the trailers so part of FacOps responsibilities (usually the UA's, not the Mechs) is trailer maintenance to keep them road-worthy, or if not, at least still usable for stuff kept on DC premises.

There are 3 levels and each one has a slightly higher pay as it goes I remember them discussing it in an all team meeting a couple months ago when we got raises.

One of our maintenance dudes worked a bunch of OT, too. Made lots of money.

Our maintenance guys basically sat around and bs'd all day since they had work orders that allowed 4 hours and would actually take 30 minutes to do.
