Job Description

Build reliability that powers a growing, people-first manufacturer

Imagine your first week: you’re partnering with production leads, reviewing a PM calendar, and planning a root-cause dive on a recurring pneumatic issue. By week two, you’ve tightened our changeover checklist, ordered a critical spare through a vendor, and eliminated an air leak that’s cost us unplanned downtime. That’s the impact you’ll make here.
