Job Description

Step into a Shift Where Your Skills Keep Production Moving

Imagine starting your shift, reviewing the work orders, and moving straight into a mold change on an Arburg press. A bit later, you’re tracing a hydraulic issue on a Husky, checking a limit switch on an Allen Bradley controller, and confirming pneumatic pressures before bringing the cell back online. Before handoff, you log your actions and flag a worn check ring so the next tech knows what’s next. That’s a typical rhythm in this role.
