Job Description & How to Apply Below
The workload is approximately 70% mechanical / 30% electrical, centered on reliability, preventive maintenance, and rapid response to minimize downtime.
A Day in the Life You start your shift walking the line, listening for unusual bearing noise near a conveyor, then pivot to a scheduled PM on a mixer gearbox. A line call comes in: an Allen‑Bradley PLC-controlled filler has faulted. You trace the issue through I/O, verify sensors, and restore production without changing code—programming not required. Before lunch, you replace a worn chain and sprocket set;
later, you chase an intermittent 480V motor starter trip on a VFD-driven pump. You close the day documenting root causes and lining up parts for tomorrow’s fixes.
