Project-based travel role — all expenses paid (airfare, lodging, mileage, per diem).
Day in the life
You touch down at a high-volume distribution hub where conveyors hum and robotic arms orchestrate the flow of packages. You walk the line, listening for out-of-spec bearings, scanning CMMS work orders, and planning a preventive maintenance window that keeps uptime high and risk low. A sensor fault flashes on a conveyor zone controller; you trace the issue with a meter, inspect the schematic, swap a relay, and document the corrective action before partnering with operations to release the line. By afternoon, you’re assisting on an upgrade to a sorter, validating settings, and coaching operators on safe startup.
