• Receive and manage work orders and preventive maintenance schedules on an iPad using a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS).
• Log problems, diagnoses, repairs, and resolutions digitally in MaintainX to ensure accurate maintenance records.
• Read and interpret blueprints, schematics, work instructions, and preventive maintenance instructions, primarily accessed via iPad.
• Perform approximately 30% preventive maintenance and 70% reactive repairs on production and facility equipment.
• Troubleshoot and repair pneumatic systems, including identifying air leaks, replacing components, and restoring proper operation.
• Adjust and replace tooling, gantry components, and air cylinders in CNC machines to maintain accuracy and performance.
• Troubleshoot and repair motors, bearings, gear boxes, and spindles to minimize downtime and extend equipment life.
• Diagnose and repair electrical components such as contractors, switches, relays, drives, controllers, proximity switches, sensors, and gauge probes on 24V480V systems.
• Change cards and selected components in PLCs as directed by engineering or maintenance personnel.
• Conduct daily checks and perform oil changes on air compressors, cranes, and forklifts to ensure safe and reliable operation.
• Assist with general facility maintenance tasks as needed to support overall plant operations.
• Use Fastenal vending and Kardex vertical carousel systems to access and manage tooling and parts required for maintenance activities.
• Work safely under Lock Out Tag Out protocols and follow all safety procedures when working with electrical and mechanical systems.
• Collaborate with production and other maintenance team members to prioritize work and minimize production interruptions.
