- Perform or coordinate stainless-steel fabrication, welding, piping, equipment modifications, and installation.
- Maintain facility utilities including water, RO, compressed air, vacuum, heating and cooling, plumbing, and related systems.
- Support processing equipment including centrifuges, filtrationsystems, dryers, mixers, heat exchangers, and membrane filtration systems.
- Install, modify, and commission new and used processing equipment.
- Perform preventive maintenance to reduce equipment failures and downtime.
- Prepare equipment and utilities for various production runs and assist with equipment setup, changeovers, and troubleshooting during operations.
- Take part in the operation of specific processes as needed.
- Maintain tools, spare parts, maintenance supplies, and basic maintenance records.
- Identify and implement practical improvements to equipment reliability, safety, and facility operations.
- Coordinate with equipment manufacturers and outside contractors when specialized support is required.
- Maintain a safe working environment and follow applicable OSHA and food-processing safety requirements.
