A Day in the Life

You start your morning reviewing overnight alerts from the Building Management System (BMRAM), prioritizing any critical items to keep downtime to a minimum. A production line reports an issue—within minutes, you’re diagnosing an electrical fault and coordinating a rapid repair. By midday, you’re mentoring a junior technician through a complex HVAC diagnostic while planning a large-scale upgrade scheduled for next week. In the afternoon, you fine-tune a preventative maintenance (PM) schedule, complete calibrations on facility support equipment, and post updates through the Hard Down Notification system so stakeholders are aligned. Before closing the day, you inspect hazardous materials storage for regulatory compliance and wrap up documentation in our maintenance management system.

Role Impact

As a senior technical leader, you will tackle advanced troubleshooting, lead major repair and installation projects, and serve as a mentor for junior technicians. You’ll be the go-to resource for maintenance, calibration, PMs, troubleshooting, and repairs across production and facility equipment—supporting safe, efficient, and compliant operations.
