Maintenance Technician IV

A career at Resilience is more than just a job – it’s an opportunity to change the future.

Resilience is a technology-focused biomanufacturing company that’s changing the way medicine is made. We’re building a sustainable network of high-tech, end-to-end manufacturing solutions to better withstand disruptive events, serve scientific discovery, and reach those in need.

The Maintenance Technician IV, working with limited supervision, maintains, troubleshoots, repairs, and continuously improves the equipment and systems critical to manufacturing operations in a cGMP facility.
