Troubleshoot and replace drives and download/configure replacement drives

Make minor PLC logic changes when necessary

Work directly with the shift supervisor to prioritize breakdown calls and outstanding work orders

Independently troubleshoot assigned equipment and work orders

Partner with the maintenance team to keep production equipment running efficiently

The role is 100% electrical/PLC-focused. Dedicated mechanical technicians handle mechanical maintenance issues. What We’re Looking For

Previous Electrical Technician, Controls Technician, or similar industrial maintenance experience
