A day in the life

You start your shift with a quick scan of the CMMS to prioritize preventive maintenance. A CNC cell flags a tool-life alert; you adjust offsets and swap tooling to keep production on pace. A PLC-controlled conveyor trips intermittently—within minutes, you trace the fault to an I/O issue, update the logic, and restore flow. Later, you partner with operations to reduce unplanned downtime and end the day closing out a facilities work order on the compressed air system.

What you’ll own

  • Diagnose and repair CNC equipment, PLC-driven machinery, robotics, and other logic-controlled systems to maximize uptime
  • Execute and improve preventive maintenance schedules via CMMS
  • Support production through tool life management, adjustments, and mechanical/electrical repairs
  • Assist with facilities maintenance, including electrical, plumbing, and compressed air systems
  • Champion safety practices and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives
