A day in the life

At 7:30 a.m., you step onto the production floor of a busy manufacturing plant, scan the overnight CMMS tickets, and head straight to an I/O cabinet flagged for intermittent faults. By mid-morning, you’re calibrating a process instrument, then tracing a control circuit to isolate a failed sensor. After lunch, you review schematics to plan a wiring modification for a conveyor drive and collaborate with Production to schedule preventive maintenance that keeps lines running. By 4:00 p.m., your updates are logged, and the plant is humming—safely and reliably.

What you’ll take ownership of

• Troubleshoot electrical and instrumentation issues with test equipment and proven diagnostic methods; find root causes and execute precise repairs.
• Assemble, install, inspect, test, repair, and service wiring, fixtures, motors, devices, and control systems in accordance with applicable codes.
• Interpret electrical drawings, schematics, equipment manuals, and engineering specifications to plan and complete work.
• Calibrate and maintain instruments, motors, PLCs, PCMs, I/O cabinets, conveyors, and production machinery.
• Reduce downtime by sharing PM best practices with Production and helping drive compliance.
• Manage tools, parts, and supplies responsibly to support efficient maintenance.

• Document all tasks, work orders, and completed repairs within the CMMS.
