Plant Maintenance Specialist — PLCs, VFDs & Packaging Systems

Are you the go-to problem solver when a line goes down?

When an SBM blow molder throws a fault at 2:17 am, you don’t flinch—you connect to the PLC, trace the signal, verify with a multimeter, and get to root cause fast. Minutes matter. Then you capture the fix in MaintainX, coach a teammate on what changed, and ensure production is back on pace before handing off with a crisp, complete report.
