Industrial Equipment Reliability Technician

Industrial Equipment Reliability Technician — Louisville, KY

Picture your workday: the production floor hums to life in Louisville as you move through the lines, eyes and ears tuned to the rhythm of the machinery. You start with a quick walk-through, checking critical assets and noting items for preventive care. When something isn’t running as it should, you’re the steady hand that gets us back on track—safely and efficiently.

What your day looks like

Morning: You begin with scheduled preventive tasks to keep downtime low—lubrication, alignments, inspections, and component checks. You update maintenance logs as you go, capturing what was done and what’s next.

Midday: A line signals a fault. You isolate the problem, diagnose whether it’s mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic in nature, and make the repair. You collaborate with operators to confirm the issue is resolved and the equipment is performing at its best.

Afternoon: You assist with the setup and installation of new machinery—mounting, leveling, and supporting start-up. Before you finish, you tidy the work area, verify guards and safety devices, and plan tomorrow’s maintenance priorities.
