A day in this role

At 2:30 PM, you clock in for second shift and begin by reviewing the maintenance schedule and any urgent work orders. You might start with a preventative check on a corrugator, verifying sensors and relays, then move to a line call to trace a motor fault using a multimeter and schematics. Later, you install power feeds to a new piece of equipment, confirm interconnecting cables are properly landed, and listen for abnormal vibration or unusual sounds during test runs. When needed, you’ll strip down assemblies—belts, chains, gears, shafts, bearings—and rebuild them to spec, documenting the repair and collaborating with production to minimize downtime.

What you’ll handle

• Execute preventive, corrective, scheduled, minor, and emergency maintenance on production machines and building systems.
• Read and apply electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical schematics and diagrams.
• Troubleshoot using precision measuring tools and electronic test equipment; repair to root cause.
• Install and terminate power-supply wiring and interconnects between systems.
• Diagnose issues with transformers, motors, lighting fixtures, and related controls; replace faulty cables, conductors, and components.
• Repair or replace electronic assemblies, including printed circuit boards.
• Observe equipment in operation to identify performance anomalies by sound and behavior.
