• Keep equipment and work areas sanitary during maintenance and account for all tools and parts before returning equipment to production
• Report and correct unsafe acts and conditions immediately
• Complete required quality, safety and food-safety documentation

Required qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on industrial maintenance experience in a manufacturing plant.
• Proven ability to troubleshoot and repair mechanical and electrical problems on your own, without step-by-step direction.
