Company Description

Belt Maintenance Systems, independently owned and headquartered in Buffalo, New York, has been a trusted provider of conveyor belt installation, repair, and maintenance services since 1970. With a team of highly trained technicians, we specialize in servicing lightweight and heavyweight conveyor belts of various sizes and lengths. Supporting industries such as manufacturing, mining, recycling, food processing, and distribution, we ensure operational efficiency for systems where conveyor uptime is critical. In addition to our field services, we offer a range of conveyor components, including belting, fasteners, cleaners, idlers, and pulleys. Our commitment to skilled technicians, reliable service, and effective solutions has been our priority for over five decades.

What You'll Do

• Perform mechanical and hot/cold vulcanized splices on conveyor belts of varying widths, constructions, and ratings
• Conduct pre-job site assessments; communicate clearly with plant managers and maintenance leads
• Operate vulcanizing presses and related equipment safely and with precision
• Document work completed, materials used, and belt conditions flagged for follow-up
• Build and maintain professional relationships with recurring customers — you're often the face of BMS on site
• Mentor and guide junior technicians as the team grows, setting the standard for quality and safety
• Maintain tools and equipment; take ownership of your kit

Who We're Looking For

• 2–5 years of hands-on conveyor belt splicing experience preferred — mechanical, vulcanized (or comparable experience in a related skilled trade such as millwright work, welding/fabrication, or industrial maintenance)
• Comfortable and safe in industrial environments: underground, elevated, confined, outdoor
• Reliable, self-directed, and accountable — you show up, finish the job, and communicate proactively
• Valid driver's license; willingness to travel on a two-weeks-in-field / long-weekend-home schedule
• A natural communicator who can hold a conversation with a plant manager as comfortably as a maintenance tech
• Ambition to grow — you're not looking for a job to coast in, you're looking for one to build something with
