Manufacturing Equipment Reliability Technician

Keep a Plant Running at Its Best — Manchester, PA

Picture your day starting on the production floor, walking the lines, listening for the hum of healthy machinery. You scan your preventive maintenance queue, prioritize a VFD cabinet inspection, then pivot to a rapid response when a conveyor stalls. One moment you’re tracing a wiring diagram to isolate a sensor fault; the next you’re collaborating with Production, Engineering, and Quality to fine-tune an installation so startup is smooth and safe.
