Job Description

About the Role

Picture your day starting with a walk-through of the production floor. You review the maintenance log, prioritize a preventive check on a vacuum glass lifter, and then tune a silicone pump to keep a critical line running smoothly. A call comes in from the shop—an operator needs help diagnosing a vibration on a piece of production machinery. You observe the symptoms, trace the root cause, and restore the equipment to full health. Before lunch, you knock out monthly safety inspections; in the afternoon, you coordinate with production planning to time a repair that prevents downtime. By shift end, you’ve updated inventory, ordered parts, and trained an operator on basic care for a rebuilt component.
