  • Maintain spare parts strategy and vendor relationships to minimize downtime
  • Identify reliability risks and lead continuous improvement initiatives that boost uptime and safety
  • Support capital planning by identifying equipment upgrades and helping build business cases
  • Maintain accurate asset tracking and ensure strong work-order planning and execution
What makes you successful here
  • Strong electrical and mechanical troubleshooting skills in an industrial manufacturing environment
  • Ability to read electrical, pneumatic, and mechanical schematics confidently
  • Experience with PLC troubleshooting, industrial wiring, drives, motors, and power distribution
  • Knowledge of safety standards, including LOTO, Arc Flash, PPE, and applicable electrical codes
  • Leadership mindset - able to prioritize work, coordinate technicians, and communicate effectively across production, engineering, and vendors
