A Day in the Life
Your shift kicks off with a quick pass through the lines—listening for bearing chatter, scanning drive data, and checking predictive maintenance tasks. You’ll jump from a PLC input issue on a weld cell to aligning a newly installed conveyor, then close the night commissioning a CNC after a spindle swap. Expect to:
Restore production by repairing or replacing worn components using hand and power tools.
Diagnose and fix issues across CNC equipment, industrial robots, PLC-controlled systems, electrical circuits, hydraulics, pneumatics, and mechanical assemblies.
Execute preventive and predictive maintenance routines to push uptime higher.
Inspect motors, VFDs/drives, belts, bearings, filters, fluid levels, and other critical parts.
Use blueprints, electrical schematics, manuals, and technical documentation to identify root causes and define corrective actions.
Assemble, install, and repair electrical wiring, controls, machinery, and production assets.
Test, measure, and operate equipment to verify and resolve electrical and mechanical malfunctions.
Document work performed and maintain accurate maintenance records.
Tackle welding, cutting, fabrication, and metal repair as needed.
Install, level, align, and commission new manufacturing equipment.
Apply precision tools—calipers, micrometers, and diagnostic instruments—for accurate setup and troubleshooting.
Champion safety and continuous improvement in every task.
What You Bring
Proven experience troubleshooting CNC machining centers and related equipment.
Hands-on PLC troubleshooting; programming experience a plus.
