• Comfortable performing both preventive maintenance and equipment troubleshooting/repair.
• Able to work independently, think through technical problems, and determine the appropriate course of action.
• Comfortable working in a hands‑on environment where you'll get dirty, work outdoors, and interact with both internal and external customers.
• Safety‑focused and able to follow Lockout/Tagout and other established safety procedures.
• A valid driver's license holder.
• A High School Diploma/GED holder.

Here’s what you’ll get:
