Maintain and calibrate electronic scales, weighing, and ingredient systems—ensuring accuracy, documentation, and compliance
Install and support precision measurement systems and related control equipment
Partner with engineering and vendors on upgrades, commissioning, and continuous improvement initiatives
Provide technical guidance to electricians and maintenance personnel as needed
Degree in Industrial Electronics Technology or an equivalent combination of education and hands-on experience
