You'll be responsible for the preventive and predictive maintenance of a diverse equipment lineup, including:

• Laser cutting machines
• Press brakes
• Overhead cranes
• Pneumatic and hydraulic systems
• PLC-controlled equipment
• Facility systems and infrastructure

Day to day, you'll execute PM schedules, diagnose and repair breakdowns quickly, collaborate with production management to minimize downtime, and contribute to capital improvement projects.
