Maintenance Technician

The Mission

Ensure the reliability, safety, and performance of a high-volume manufacturing facility by maintaining and improving critical production systems -- preventing downtime, protecting product quality, and sustaining operational excellence.

Performance Objectives

Maximize equipment uptime: diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical, and PLC-controlled systems to minimize unplanned downtime across pumps, valves, conveyors, gearboxes, and related equipment.

Execute preventative maintenance with precision: complete scheduled PM work orders through CMMS (SAP preferred), ensuring calibration, inspection, and documentation meet compliance standards.

Lead electrical and automation troubleshooting: troubleshoot and repair three-phase (480V/220V) systems, industrial controls, and Allen Bradley PLC/SLC programs to restore safe and efficient operations.

Strengthen instrumentation and controls reliability: calibrate plant instrumentation and update or reconstruct existing PLC programs when necessary.

Maintain safety and compliance standards: operate within GMP guidelines, adhere to PPE requirements, and safely handle hazardous materials in high-noise and temperature-variable environments.

Support 24/7 operational readiness: communicate effectively across production and maintenance teams to ensure seamless shift transitions and rapid response to issues.
