Industrial Reliability Mechanic (Equipment and Facilities)
A day in the life
When you step onto the shop floor, your mission is simple: keep production humming. You start with scheduled PMs, inspecting CNCs and welding bays, listening for the faint signs of wear. A heat treat oven throws a code—you diagnose, repair, verify, then document. By afternoon, you’re swapping a ballast in a light fixture, clearing a clogged drain, and helping reconfigure an assembly cell so the team can hit tomorrow’s goals. Safety, uptime, and quality guide every move you make.
