A day in this role

In Dowagiac, MI, you’ll be the go-to expert keeping our operation moving. Your day might start with a preventive maintenance walk-through, tuning a VFD for smoother motor control, and reviewing overnight logs for any PLC faults. By mid-morning, you could be troubleshooting a conveyor jam, swapping a servo motor encoder, or repairing a piece of heavy equipment to restore uptime. In the afternoon, you might perform HVAC / R diagnostics to stabilize temperatures and humidity, complete machine safety inspections, and verify that work on 120 / 208 / 240 / 480 VAC systems meets our safety standards. You’ll wrap up by documenting fixes, updating PM plans, and collaborating with teammates to plan tomorrow’s improvements.

• Build and execute preventive maintenance programs that boost reliability and reduce downtime.
• Diagnose and repair heavy equipment to keep production on schedule.
• Maintain, service, and troubleshoot HVAC / R systems for consistent performance.
