Engagement:
Contract-to-hire, 12 monthsA Day in the Life You start your shift by reviewing the overnight CMMS tickets, prioritizing a VFD fault on a process pump and a lighting outage in a cleanroom corridor. After a safe work briefing, you isolate energy sources, verify absence of voltage, and dive into troubleshooting—moving from schematics to MCCs and back to field devices. By mid-morning, the VFD is retuned and the line is back to full rate.

After lunch, you partner with automation and instrumentation teammates to bring a new panel online for an HVAC upgrade, confirming wiring against drawings and testing for code compliance. You close the day logging accurate maintenance records, contributing to a CAPA on a recurring transformer trip, and identifying an energy-efficiency opportunity on a bank of lighting controls.
