A day in the life

You arrive for 1st shift and run a quick safety and tool check. A line calls for help — you diagnose the issue, reference the equipment manual and work order, and bring the machine back online with a clean, safe fix. Between calls, you execute preventive maintenance, verify critical settings, and log completed tasks. In the afternoon, you swap a worn hydraulic component, trace an electrical fault with a meter, fine-tune a pneumatic circuit, and assist on a robotics or PLC-related adjustment. Throughout the day you keep your area orderly, watch for abnormal machine behavior, flag defective material, and communicate findings to supervision.

• Triage and complete emergency/unscheduled repairs during production; perform scheduled service during machine downtime.
