  • Conduct safety inspections and training.
  • Maintain on-call availability for urgent maintenance needs.

  • Experience with PLCs, robotic systems, chillers, dryers, conveyors, and compressors.
  • Proficiency in reading and interpreting electrical schematics, hydraulic diagrams, and machine manuals.
  • Process Improvement: Familiarity with Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Lean Manufacturing, and Six Sigma principles (a plus).
  • Physical Requirements: Ability to perform regular physical activity, including lifting, standing, and working with tools and machinery.
