GMP Facilities & Automation Maintenance Technologist

Picture your day: before 9 a.m. you’ve cleared an alarm on a process machine, updated the CMMS, and coordinated a safe work permit for a contractor. By noon, you’ve tuned a refrigeration loop, verified a boiler control, and collaborated with an OEM remotely to fine-tune a lab instrument. By close of day, you’ve assessed quotes for a major repair, restocked critical spares, and left your 5S-organized workspace spotless—because safety and service always come first.
