A day in the life (2nd shift)
By 3 : 05 p.m., you’ve reviewed the maintenance log, prioritized an unplanned line stoppage, and teamed up with another tech to isolate an intermittent sensor fault. Later, you’re aligning a drive assembly with precision tools, updating PM checklists, and coaching a junior teammate through safe LOTO procedures. Safety stays first, paperwork is clean, and production hits the mark before 11 : 30 p.m.
Core responsibilities
- Support production operations and lead complex maintenance work; mentor junior technicians to elevate department capability.
- Use advanced and basic hand tools (e.g., gear pullers, honing / lapping tools, precision levels and alignment tools).
- Operate power tools and equipment (e.g., hydraulic power jacks, belt lacing machines, mag drills).
- Measure with basic to moderately advanced devices for accurate diagnostics and alignment.
- Drive a forklift and safely operate lifting equipment (hoists, boom cranes, cherry pickers, scissor lifts).
- Run standard shop equipment (bandsaw, hydraulic press, lathe, mill, brake / shear).
- Work in confined / tight spaces while following strict safety practices.
- Read and interpret mechanical schematics, wiring interconnect drawings, and service manuals.
- Troubleshoot motion control, electrical / electronic circuits, and sensors at a basic level.
- Apply broad facility / equipment maintenance knowledge (plumbing, electrical, construction, rigging, anchoring, cabinetry).
- Provide your own standard hand tools and a secure storage solution.
- Execute preventive maintenance (lubrication, adjustments / alignments, part repairs, safety and operational checks).
- Diagnose and repair complex manufacturing equipment with minimal supervision.
- Leverage proficiency in machining, welding, fabrication, or a related specialty trade.
- Service / overhaul components such as air / hydraulic cylinders and motors, valve assemblies, pumps, motion elements, and supporting subsystems.
- Rapidly prioritize outages and competing tasks while multitasking effectively.
- Analyze issues and resolve them with minimal assistance; complete documentation neatly and accurately.
- Lead projects / complex activities and train or mentor peers as needed.
- Put safety first on every task; follow company and OSHA guidelines.
