Your day at a glance

Reporting to the Production Supervisor, you’ll begin by reviewing CMMS-generated preventive tasks and overnight equipment notes. You’ll walk the floor, listen for irregularities, and respond to any urgent production calls. You may swap a worn conveyor component, tune a sander, or troubleshoot a press. Later, you’ll assist with a new machine installation, collaborate with production to optimize a setup, and close out your shift by documenting work and planning proactive repairs. Throughout the day, safety is your baseline—every decision considers it first.
