Day in the life
By 7:00 a.m., you’re lacing up your boots at a manufacturing plant, PPE on and tablet in hand. You trace pneumatic lines, review electrical panels, and speak with maintenance about changeovers. By noon, you’ve photographed isolation points, verified valve accessibility, and drafted a clear, step-by-step isolation plan. Before you leave, you walk the floor again to validate every step and install tags where needed—safety, accuracy, and efficiency driving every decision.
The role
