You start your shift by checking the CMMS, reviewing yesterday’s work orders, and prioritizing today’s preventive tasks. A production cell is down—within minutes you’re observing the equipment in motion, tracing symptoms to the root cause. You open up the assembly, remove worn components, adjust control instrumentation, and install new parts. After reassembly, you run electrical and mechanical tests to validate performance and return the line to peak condition.
Later, you capture predictive maintenance data and log trends in the system. A teammate needs a custom bushing—so you head to the lathe to machine it and finish the repair, welding a minor bracket for good measure. Between calls, you tidy your area to 5S standards, suggest a small change that reduces repeat failures, and mentor a junior tech through a complex troubleshooting sequence. Before clocking out, you update records in the CMMS and note opportunities for a CI project.

This role regularly involves standing and walking, using hands and fingers to handle parts and tools, reaching with arms, and climbing or balancing—sometimes using ladders or lifts. You’ll also stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl in tight spaces, and communicate clearly. Sitting occurs occasionally. You may occasionally lift or move items over 50 pounds. Close and color vision are regularly needed. Work may sometimes occur outdoors and can involve exposure to electrical hazards. The factory setting is typically very loud, with potential exposure to hazardous materials and slick or greasy floors.
