• Conduct maintenance safety program audits, including Lockout/Tagout, Confined Space, Fall Protection, PPE, and mobile equipment safety.
• Apply knowledge of electrical and electronic circuits, PLCs, wire installation and termination, combustion, power distribution, electronics, process control computers, conduit threading, bending and installation, AC and DC drives, and welding.
