You install, troubleshoot, repair, and fine-tune production and facility equipment—always with safety and reliability at the forefront. When an urgent call comes in, you pivot to diagnose the issue, replace worn components, test, and adjust until everything runs to spec. Between calls, you complete scheduled PMs, inspect for faulty operations or materials, and keep your area clean and compliant.
