A day in the life

You start your shift with a quick walk‑through of the building and grounds, checking dock doors, lighting, and the conveyor line. A sensor fault pops up—your electrical and mechanical troubleshooting kicks in. After a safe lockout/tagout, you resolve the issue and bring the line back up. Later, you complete preventive maintenance on the conveyor and HVAC, repair a damaged floor section near receiving, and log all work in the equipment files. When needed, you hop on a forklift or order picker to position parts. You finish by supporting a safety walk, offering suggestions, and tidying up spills to keep the area work‑clean.
