In this role, safety is the constant. You will follow company health and safety procedures without compromise—applying LOTO, HAZCOM, PPE, and Confined Space practices alongside all Company, State, and Federal programs—while delivering reliable maintenance on a wide range of machinery, systems, and facilities assets.
