Your impact

Picture this: a conveyor trips at 2:15 AM. You pull the schematic, verify inputs at the PLC, isolate a failed drive component, and coordinate a safe change-out with production.

• Disassemble and reassemble machines using hoists, cranes, and hand/power tools to access and replace defective parts.
• Execute precision maintenance: pumps, motors, chains, sprockets, and cables; repair/replace drives; troubleshoot PLC logic; fabricate/mount guards; and fine-tune hydraulics.
• Perform preventive maintenance across the casting lifecycle and contribute to reliability-improvement projects.
• Uphold personal PPE standards and promote BCC Safety Regulations across the crew.
