You may also begin reading PLC code, burning EEPROMs, and assisting junior technicians — making this a role with real scope for technical growth.

Safety is a core part of this position. You’ll be expected to adhere to all applicable safety standards, attend safety meetings, complete required trainings, and proactively address safety concerns on the floor. Collaboration with operations, vendors, and support teams is essential, as is accurate use of the Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software for data entry and retrieval.
