• Collaborate with management and team members to improve processes and efficiency
• Help support a safe, productive work environment

What We're Looking For

• Strong mechanical aptitude and a knack for troubleshooting
• Experience with industrial, manufacturing, marine, agricultural, or processing equipment is a plus
