Step into a day on our maintenance team

At our Fort Worth food production facility, you’ll start your morning walk-through at 8:00 a.m., listening for unusual sounds on the packaging line and checking yesterday’s maintenance log. A call comes in: a conveyor is drifting out of alignment. You dig into the root cause, make the mechanical adjustment, verify sensors and guards, then bring the line back up—safely and quickly. The rest of your day blends planned PMs, a small install on a new piece of equipment, and a few tune-ups to keep uptime high and food safety uncompromised.
