Oversee mechanical, electrical, controls, and reliability work across conveyors, elevators, mills, asphalt systems, fired heaters, web-handling equipment, palletizers, and other production systems. Support troubleshooting during breakdowns and engage as needed to resolve issues quickly and safely. Ensure notifications, work orders, planning, and execution through SAP meet standards. Promote proactive maintenance by emphasizing PM compliance, reducing break-in work, and optimizing labor utilization. Remain informed of weekly maintenance schedules developed by supervisors; ensure alignment with production priorities.
