A Day in the Life
Start your morning walk-through at 7:00 AM, checking pumps, motors, and conveyors before production ramps up. When a pneumatic valve sticks, you diagnose, swap components, and bring the line back online with minimal downtime. Later, you review a schematic to prep for a new equipment install, then switch gears to repair a hydraulic leak and finish the day documenting PM work and noting parts for the next scheduled shutdown. Along the way, you pitch in on a facility repair, build a crate for outbound equipment, and support a small safety improvement project. Most work is mechanical—your HVAC knowledge is a strong plus.
