Some Projects You Might Get Your Hands On

• Machine Guarding Assessments - Help make our equipment and work environment safer.
• Capital Projects (CARs) - Assist with planning, designing, and budgeting equipment improvements.

• Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis - Investigate equipment breakdowns and help develop solutions to prevent them from happening again.

• Is studying Mechanical, Electrical, Process, or a related engineering discipline.

• Isn't afraid to ask questions, share ideas, or jump into a new challenge.

Military experience? We encourage you to apply! Technical training, mechanical aptitude, and problem-solving experience can translate well into this role.
