What are the responsibilities and job description for the Industrial Wastewater Systems Mechanic position at Express Employment Professionals - Richmond?
A day in the life
You arrive, review the previous shift’s log, and head out for a walk‑through of the plant. Pumps hum, motors spin, and control cabinets blink with status lights. You listen for changes in tone, check temperatures, and spot a cabinet that isn’t reading correctly. Out comes your multimeter—one quick test points you to a faulty component, and you document the issue, schedule the repair, and get the line back on track. Before noon, you’ve completed a preventive inspection, cleaned your area, and updated maintenance notes so the next tech has a clear handoff.
