A Day in the Life

You arrive before the line starts, review storyboards across the work group, and turn repeat failures into action plans. As production ramps up, you move between assets diagnosing electro-mechanical issues using schematics, manuals, and drawings—isolating faults quickly and getting equipment back online. You collaborate with the Value Stream Manager, Work Group Leaders, Process Technicians, Maintenance Technicians, Line Technicians, and Set-up Technicians to lift reliability and case attainment. Throughout the shift, you document maintenance activities, coach maintenance shift technicians, and keep the area safe and orderly. If a chronic issue surfaces, you lead a design of experiments and champion improvement projects that raise line efficiency for the long term.

• Use standard hand tools and basic machine shop equipment; apply a general working knowledge of machine shop practices.
• Maintain records, follow established maintenance procedures, and uphold a clean, safe work environment.
• Partner closely with your cross-functional work group; train maintenance shift technicians and communicate openly across the team.
• Walk storyboards across the work group and build targeted action plans to eliminate recurring failures.
• Lead line improvements, design of experiments, and projects to improve efficiency and reliability.
