Shape a safe, reliable manufacturing environment—one shift at a time

Start your day walking the floor with the Production & Facilities Manager, prioritizing preventive maintenance, contractor activities, and urgent work orders. Before noon, you might be troubleshooting a piece of manufacturing equipment, inspecting a fire alarm panel, or adjusting a Johnson Controls building automation setting.

You wrap up by updating stakeholders with clear written and verbal reports.
