You will read hydraulic schematics, trace circuit faults, and perform both planned preventive maintenance and emergency troubleshooting as needed.

Hands-on industrial hydraulic maintenance experience -- HPUs, valves, cylinders, high-pressure circuits (above 1,500 PSI)
Centralized lubrication system experience (oil and grease lube systems for gearboxes, bearings, roll necks)
Ability to read and interpret hydraulic schematics and P&IDs
Steel mill, aluminum rolling mill, or heavy industrial manufacturing background strongly preferred
