Power Press & Controls Maintenance Mechanic

Reno, NV | Eaton’s ES GEIS BLD division

A production line stalls mid-run. A VFD throws a cryptic fault. A servo won’t home. You step in—quick diagnostics on the HMI, meter in hand, schematics open, and within minutes the line is back at rate. If solving complex electro-mechanical puzzles energizes you, this role puts you at the center of Eaton’s mission to power progress safely and reliably.
