A day in this role

You arrive for weekend coverage ready to keep a high-volume manufacturing site running 24/7. You scan the day’s work orders, prioritize urgent items in the CMMS, and head to the floor. One hour you’re inside a control cabinet tracing an electrical fault; the next you’re swapping a VFD, inspecting a main electrical distribution panel, or executing scheduled PMs to keep throughput on track. You might assist the Utilities team with general repairs and stainless passivations, then pivot to support an engineering changeover. Throughout the shift, you work within GMP/SOP guidelines, document precisely, and uphold LOTO, PPE, and strong housekeeping. When a part fails, you repair it using machine shop equipment—lathe, mill, or welder when needed. Confined space entries are part of the job, and you’re respirator-qualified and prepared to work in aseptic areas (training provided).

• Process daily work orders; troubleshoot, repair, and upgrade facility, production, and lab equipment
• Diagnose and repair control cabinets, VFDs, main distribution panels, PLC-driven systems, and conveyor equipment
