• Partner with engineers and maintenance teams to document equipment performance, PM programs, and line layouts.
• Assist with data collection and analysis to improve reliability, efficiency, and sustainability.

• Create or update engineering drawings, work instructions, and Torani Operating Procedures (TOPs).
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Operations, Quality, Procurement, R&D, and Supply Chain) to bring ideas from concept to reality.
• Support the East Coast facility design and startup by contributing to early layout studies, process mapping, and equipment specification.
