Rotating Machinery Rebuild Shop Lead

Rotating Machinery Rebuild Shop Lead — Jacksonville, FLA day in this role

You open the shop with a quick safety huddle, align the technicians and machinists on priorities, and scan the repair board: a pump assembly due today, a gearbox rebuild in progress, and a troublesome rotating unit awaiting diagnosis. You assign work, coach a newer tech on a machining setup, and jump in to verify tolerances on a manual machine. Midday, you troubleshoot a mechanical issue, document findings, and coordinate parts needs. Before close, you review performance notes, update job records, and collaborate with a project manager to keep timelines on track—all while keeping the team focused, safe, and efficient.
