Senior Industrial Maintenance Technician – Distribution Automation

Senior Industrial Maintenance Technician – Distribution Automation (Nampa, ) What a day looks like

You arrive to the distribution center, open the CMMS, and scan your work queue. A conveyor sensor fault, a forklift charging issue, and an HVAC alert all compete for attention. You triage based on safety and business impact, grab the right parts, and get to work. You observe each system for proper operation, repair what’s needed, and communicate the plan with stakeholders.

Throughout the shift, you log every minute and part into the CMMS to keep inventory and man-hour reporting accurate. You follow vendor procedures, lockout/tagout without exception, respect Arc Flash boundaries, and coach teammates along the way. Before you wrap, you pitch in on general facility tasks so the building, grounds, and equipment stay safe and productive for everyone.
