On the Manufacturing Engineering team, we have a couple Process Technicians, 2 Process Engineers, and an Engineering Intern.

The majority of the problems that come up for this team to handle are on the mechanical side.However, we are a bit lacking in PLCs and Controls troubleshooting skills within the rest of the team.

So while those issues are less frequent, they are a critical issue to be resolved when they do come up.We need someone who knows enough to help teach and train our techs to troubleshoot things like Ladder Logic and Controls - but not necessarily to program them.

This role is 70-80% Management and Projects, with about a 20% expectation of direct Troubleshooting (hands-on work as an individual contributor).

You will have plenty of projects and implementation initiatives to manage in this role. This could be new equipment installs or major equipment overhauls, or new program rollouts, for example.

You'll also field escalations from the Engineering and Maintenance teams whenever they get stuck.

• Controls (PLCs) and Robotics (Fanuc)

Other Responsibilities :

• Management :
• Training, delegating, and developing a strong, productive, high functioning Engineering and Maintenance Team
• The expectation is that the team becomes measurably more capable and skilled because of YOUR management over the coming years
• Software : Youll be using Plex (our ERP) to manage maintenance work orders.The rest of the job is primarily the classic Microsoft suite you would expect (outlook for email, plenty of excel sheets).
• Owning Documentation :
• Making sure the proper documentation is completed
• Getting plant floor plans and other similar documents up to date, for example
• Troubleshooting, but also being process focused
• Quality implementation, process standardization
