Make manufacturing run betterevery visit, every fix, every improvement
In this leadership-leaning field role, you’ll be the force that restores uptime, advances preventative strategies, and mentors otherswhile tackling the toughest control-system and electro-mechanical problems on the floor.
The impact you’ll have
- Diagnose issues by observing machines in operation; disassemble to access and remove defective parts; inspect components; adjust functional parts and control instruments; repair or replace; validate with electrical and mechanical tests; recondition and repair machine tools.
- Elevate reliability by sourcing parts and supplies, evaluating alternatives for superior cost and performance, and packaging retrofits, upgrades, or alternate functions.
- Establish the standard: independently perform maintenance to industry norms and author maintenance standards and instructions for altered or new equipment.
- Advise customer teams on maintenance optimization, reliability approaches, and PM processes.
- Perform precision machining (lathe, drill press, grinder, and more) and welding to fabricate or repair components.
- Resolve the hardest problems by altering, troubleshooting, and analyzing complex control systemssoftware, hardware, and configuration included.
- Harness advanced maintenance technologies to collect performance data, detect trends, and drive recommendations.
- Capture knowledge: complete service reports and system entries, write clear narratives of findings and performance data, and compile technical manuals plus operating/maintenance procedures for equipment upgrades and automation integrations.
- Grow others: mentor lower-level technicians, provide leadership within project teams, deliver on-the-job training, and lead technical development programs for coworkers and customers.
- Work safely and professionally: follow all safety policies, rules, regulations, instructions, and guidelines; practice situational awareness and address unsafe behaviors/conditions; align with customer contractor codes of conduct and housekeeping standards.
