Responsibilities

Troubleshoot, maintain, and repair processing equipment, including fillers, cappers, labelers, conveyors, palletizers, and packaging machinery.
Diagnose and repair electrical systems such as motors, VFDs, sensors, and relays, and mechanical systems such as gearboxes, pumps, bearings, belts, and chains; perform advanced fault isolation and signal tracing across control systems.
Perform preventive and predictive maintenance to minimize downtime and extend equipment life; conduct failure analysis and root cause investigations.
Read and interpret electrical schematics, blueprints, mechanical drawings, and technical manuals.
Perform advanced PLC troubleshooting, including I/O diagnostics, fault analysis, and program-level investigation.
Install, test, and commission new or modified equipment and components, including integration with existing control systems and validation of proper operation.
Support system integration, retrofits, and process improvements.
Transfer knowledge, guide, and train Mechanical Technicians on repairs and best practices.
Maintain accurate maintenance records using a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).
Follow safety, food safety, and quality standards, including LOTO, GMPs, and HACCP as applicable.
Collaborate with Operations, Engineering, and Quality teams to improve reliability and performance and resolve systemic or recurring equipment and controls issues.
Respond quickly to equipment breakdowns during production, including shift, weekend, or on-call support as required, and lead resolution of complex or escalated failures.
