• Ability and willingness to work Fuji's rotating DuPont schedule, including BOTH 7:00 AM-7:00 PM and 7:00 PM-7:00 AM shifts, scheduled weekends, and holidays that fall within the rotation.

Preferred:

• Experience in food manufacturing, edible-oil refining, chemical processing, paper mills, utilities, power generation, heavy industrial manufacturing, or another continuous-process environment.
• DCS, SAP maintenance, industrial networks, calibration, equipment upgrade, and reliability/root-cause-analysis experience.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• Works safely and consistently follows electrical-safety, LOTO, and site procedures on both day and night shifts.
