Electro-Mechanical Reliability Technician (Manufacturing)

Job Description

Job Description

Based in Dickson, TN

Picture your night beginning on the production floor of a high-volume plant. Machines are humming, an alarm flashes, and you jump into action. You verify power, trace signals, check PLC I/O status and fault codes (without altering programs), isolate a failed sensor, and get the line running again. You log the repair, note a preventive follow-up, and hand off clear notes for the next shift. If this sounds like your kind of shift, you’ll fit right in.

• Troubleshoot control systems and PLC-driven machinery (no programming required)
• Execute preventive maintenance to boost reliability and minimize downtime
