Job Description & How to Apply Below
What a day looks like
You arrive on site, review the overnight handoff, and gear up with PPE. A conveyor alarm flashes—after a safe Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), you trace the fault through a 480V circuit, inspect the VFD, and correct a sensor alignment that restores flow. Before lunch, you execute scheduled PMs, document findings, and recommend a component upgrade to cut repeat downtime. The afternoon brings an emergency call—an HVAC unit supporting a refrigerated area needs rapid diagnosis and repair.
You wrap the day by updating maintenance logs, confirming parts usage, and delivering a clear status report for the next shift.
