The position also initiates purchase orders and coordinates equipment downtime for repairs, upgrades, and installations while minimizing disruption to manufacturing. The role requires careful attention to situations that may affect personnel safety, including equipment sensors, interlocks, and controls that limit motion, speed, temperature, or pressure.

- Use drawings, P&IDs, blueprints, manuals, and verbal or written instructions to install, repair, replace, and maintain process equipment and electrical/control systems.
- Update, modify, and generate electrical drawings for repairs, upgrades, or new equipment design and implementation.
- Work closely with engineers, mechanics, calibration technicians, and operators in the day-to-day operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of plant equipment.
