Maintenance Technician II-2

The Maintenance Technician III supports the FedEx industrial maintenance of material handling to complete preventative and predictive maintenance and repair of material handling systems.

Will utilize prescribed processes as they relate to mechanical power transmission, electrical, PLC / controls, welding / fabrication and other industrial maintenance related systems.

May troubleshoot component and systems issues.ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONSUnder minimal supervision, provides preventative and predictive maintenance, troubleshooting and repair of material handling systems through demonstrated proficiency in mechanical power transmission and electrical with working knowledge of PLC / controls and welding / fabricationAdheres to all applicable safety standards and promotes a safe work environment by attending safety meetings and required trainings and addressing all safety concernsWill interpret electrical or mechanical schematics, manufacturer's manuals and engineering specifications to troubleshoot, diagnose and repair system faults and failures or determine escalResponds to sort calls to diagnose problems and make repairsAbility to utilize the Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software to enter and retrieve prescribed dataComplex skills required in diagnosing and troubleshooting mechanical, electrical and / or PLC / controls failuresMay rely on higher level Technicians in complex control systems issuesMay begin to read PLC and have the ability to burn EEPROMsMay begin to assist lower level techniciansMay begin to develop scopes of work and project plans for small scale projects to be executed at a local levelMay be required to work a flexible schedule including all days and shifts as the business need dictates.

Performs other duties as assignedExamples of what you can expect to learn in the Tech III level (does not include all areas / responsibilities).

MechanicalUnderstand power transmission concepts, such as gear ratios, service factor, horsepower and frame size to repair / replace a failed gearbox and / or motor when the correct replacement parts are not availableUnderstand mechanical design concepts to be able to replace failed pulleys and bearings with replacements that don't match design without impacting performance of a conveyor (speed, torque, etc.

Can read, interpret and create or modify mechanical drawingsElectricalUse a digital multimeter to resistance test de-energized circuits.

Troubleshoot and diagnose both the power and the control branch of motor controls circuits.Read, interpret and create or modify electrical drawings / schematicsPLC / ControlsGo online with PLC processors to aid in troubleshootingBurn EEPROMsUnderstand PLC networks, such as ControlNet, DeviceNet, etc.

Welding or FabricationMIG, stick and TIG weld in all positions.Understand difference between structural and non-structural welds and when to apply themRepair broken components where factors such as position or load may impact the repair, such as motor mounting plates or conveyor legs.
