A day in this role

You walk the floor before the lines start, checking setpoints and safety interlocks. A stretch blow molder throws a fault. You plug in your PLC interface, meter a sensor, swap a VFD cooling fan, and have product flowing again in minutes. Later, you realign a conveyor chain, coach a teammate through a hydraulic leak diagnosis, and log your work in MaintainX. Before heading out, you brief the next shift so they’re set up for success and finalize your end‑of‑shift report.
