Industrial Controls Maintenance Technician

Your day, your impact

You start your shift by checking the maintenance database for open work orders. A CNC mill is faulting on a servo drive, and a packaging PLC flagged an input issue overnight. By mid-morning, you’ve traced signals with a meter, combed through schematics, and updated wiring on a control cabinet. After lunch, you coordinate with a vendor on a retrofit, order replacement parts to keep spares stocked, and round out the day by tidying your area to 6S standards and documenting improvements for the next kaizen.
