Keep Honda Moving.

Every shift. Every repair. Every piece of equipment matters.

WMH Solutions is hiring an experienced Industrial Maintenance Technician to support material handling equipment at the Honda Manufacturing facility in Talladega, Alabama.

This is a dedicated-site technician role supporting heavy equipment and material handling units inside a fast-paced manufacturing environment. If you have experience as a forklift technician, industrial maintenance technician, heavy equipment mechanic, diesel technician, automotive technician, plant maintenance technician, or equipment mechanic, this could be a strong next step in your career.

You’ll be responsible for diagnosing, maintaining, and repairing forklifts and material handling equipment that help keep production, warehouse operations, and plant movement running smoothly.

This is not a basic repair role.

This is a hands-on, high-impact technician position where your work directly supports one of the most recognized manufacturing operations in the region.

Why This Role Stands Out

Experienced technicians want more than a job title.

They want stable work, strong equipment, clear expectations, solid benefits, and a company that invests in their trade.

This role offers:

✔ Dedicated Honda Manufacturing location
✔ 2nd shift schedule
✔ $25-$30/hr starting range
✔ $1.00 shift differential
✔ Company van to drive to the plant and back home
✔ Fuel card
✔ $250 quarterly tool allowance
✔ Cell phone allowance
✔ Boot allowance
✔ Uniforms provided and laundered
✔ Paid training and technical development
✔ Stable, growing company
✔ Long-term career opportunities

You’ll have the opportunity to put your mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic troubleshooting skills to work in a serious industrial environment where uptime matters.
