Day to day you'll carry out fault diagnosis and repairs on motors, drives, PLCs, sensors and control systems, execute planned preventative maintenance to reduce breakdowns, and respond to and root-cause equipment failures. You'll ensure all electrical work meets legal, regulatory and site safety standards, including LOTO procedures, and keep schematics, documentation and equipment records up to date.
