The work

 

You would maintain and improve the manufacturing equipment that makes the product. Preventive and predictive maintenance, troubleshooting downtime, machine upgrades that make hard runs easier, and the diagnostic work that keeps quality and output where they need to be.

That includes conveyors, fillers, case equipment, palletizing, and the rest of the production floor. You support GMP sanitation in your area and work with production so the line is ready when they are.

The plant has a real CMMS. You use it. You also support the safety program, including lockout/tagout and making sure equipment safeguards actually work.
