About The Position

You arrive on shift ready to keep production humming. You review open work orders in Maintenance Connection, plan preventive checks, and jump in where you’re needed—perhaps a PLC fault on a former, a heater loop that isn’t holding temperature, or an extruder drive that needs tuning. You’ll move between electrical diagnostics and hands-on mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic work to protect uptime and ensure a safe, clean workspace.
