Intralogistics Conveyor Reliability Technician

A day in this role

As the pulse of a fast-moving distribution center, you’ll start your shift with a quick scan of system dashboards in the CMMS, then walk the floor to listen, look, and feel for what the conveyors, sorters, and robots are telling you. A sensor trips on a divert — you diagnose it, swap a failed component, verify controls, and get product flowing again. Later, you’ll execute scheduled PMs on motors, drives, and batteries, weld a small guard repair, and coordinate a LOTO with operations to tackle a stubborn fault. Every task is about one thing: keeping uptime high and the building safe.
