Conveyor Maintenance Technician

The Maintenance Tech is responsible for troubleshooting, diagnosing, and repairing complex mechanical and electrical issues within conveyor systems.

• Ensures that the system meets all the client's specifications and standards along with all applicable local, state, and national codes.
• Evaluates current material handling processes and considers innovation in technology, material, methods, and controls software as an integral component of the system design.
• Influences the conceptual configuration of major equipment and controls elements of the project based on the layout of the space identified by the Client for the system through critical analysis making sure the system meets the form, fit and function of the contract/specification requirements.
• Develops general arrangement drawing(s) of the system and prepares the preliminary manifest as input to the cost estimate process.
• Assists the Estimator to establish costs and timelines for the project in the Proposal phase.
• Provides support to the Engineering team during subsequent phases of the project as required to ensure the integrity of the system is maintained.
• Anticipates installation, testing, and debugging phases of critical projects as required.
• Provides concrete, well-thought-out plans that can be moved into Engineering once the order is won without issue.
• Collaborates with clients, engineers, and other staff to understand the specified material and the conveyance, transport, or other handling needs.
• Evaluates current technology used in the material handling process, considering innovations in material and methods to provide the best solution to DCI's Clients.
• Recommends improvements to ensure the most innovative, efficient, and cost-effective material handling solutions within the schedule constraints of the project.
• Defines testing and acceptance steps and ensures the system agrees with customer requirements and applicable regulatory rules.
• Drafts sketches, examples, and written analysis of proposed designs or improvements to handling system, packaging, and other related elements.
• If/when required, supports the installation, testing, and debugging phases of projects.
• Drafts (or assists with drafting) relevant technical documentation, specifications, and lists.
• Actively manage the risk of the project regarding the overall design and implementation both identifying and mitigating.
