About The Position
Transport is at the core of modern society. Imagine using your expertise to shape sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions for the future. If you seek to make a difference on a global scale, working with next-gen technologies and the sharpest collaborative teams, then we could be a perfect match. In this role, you will play a key part in the initiative to build an industrial maintenance organization and make an impact on equipment uptime to enable production to support our customers. You will learn best practices, identify root causes of equipment failures, and implement process and equipment design changes to reduce unplanned downtime.
