• Train operators and supervision on the proper operation of equipment and processes.
• Develop maintenance documentation and train the newly hired maintenance team, including as-built drawing handovers, equipment maintenance manuals, critical spare parts lists, and preventative maintenance schedules.
• Support development and implement action plans for continuous improvements and cost savings.
• Demonstrate a commitment to communicating, improving, and adhering to health, safety and environmental policies in all work environments and areas.
• Promote a culture of safety and exhibit these behaviors.

• Bachelor’s Degree
