Electro-Mechanical Maintenance Technician

A day in the life

You start your shift with a quick scan of the maintenance dashboard and CMMS ticket queue. A conveyor is signaling a fault—within minutes you’re on-site, diagnosing the issue, adjusting a control instrument, and swapping a worn component to restore flow. Between urgent calls, you complete a planned PM, tidy the area to 5S standards, and log your work—each entry improving the CMMS history for the next tech. Later, you back up a teammate on a simple machining task at the lathe and finish the day reviewing CI ideas that cut downtime and cost.
