Job description

A day in the life

Sunrise in Amherst, OH. You walk the floor, ears tuned to the hum of conveyors and servo motors. A line start-up check, a quick scan of VFD parameters, a PLC input that needs attention. You pull a print, trace the circuit, and bring a system back online without missing a beat. By mid-day, you're completing PMs, documenting findings, and collaborating with teammates to boost reliability. When an urgent call comes in, you diagnose a pneumatic leak, swap a component, verify operation, and log the repair for traceability—all while keeping safety at the forefront.

Why you'll love it here—benefits start day one
