Can You Say Yes To These?

  • When equipment sounds “off,” do you instinctively investigate—listening, inspecting, and testing to pinpoint the root cause?
  • Are you comfortable calibrating sensors and gauges to bring processes back into spec?
  • Could you tear down a component, replace defective parts, and reassemble it to run like new?
  • Do hydraulics, pneumatics, and piping systems feel like familiar territory?
  • Can you read diagrams/layouts and translate them into precise installations of machinery, platforms, and guards?
  • Do you value working safely, supporting teammates, and maintaining a clean, compliant work area?

What You’ll Do

  • Perform preventive maintenance: visual inspections, fluid checks, lubrication/cleaning, adjustments, part replacement, and calibration of sensors and gauges.
  • Inspect and test equipment; listen for abnormal sounds and collaborate with line staff to resolve issues.
  • Dismantle, inspect, and replace defective parts; install new/repaired components.
  • Lay out, assemble, install, and maintain piping plus hydraulic/pneumatic equipment; service gauges, valves, and pressure regulators.
