Job description

A day in this role

The extrusion press slows. You arrive with a multimeter in one hand and a schematic in the other. You trace a pressure drop to a hydraulic valve, confirm the diagnosis against the prints, swap the component, and bring the press back to rate. After the line is stable, you move to predictive checks on gearboxes and bearings, complete scheduled PMs on conveyors and pumps, and finish the shift supporting a changeover—verifying alignments, making adjustments, and documenting the work you performed. Throughout the day, you keep your area tidy and operate with safety first.
