Facilities & Utilities Maintenance Technologist

Job Description

Job Description Are You the Troubleshooter Everyone Counts On?

If you’re the person who hears a bearing before it fails and reads a wiring diagram like a map, our Cincinnati, OH facility needs your expertise. Imagine starting your shift with a quick walk-through: you review PM schedules, clear a pneumatic issue on a packaging line, inspect a VFD panel, and log your work. Then a call comes in—an unexpected electrical fault. You lockout/tagout, isolate the problem, replace the component, test, document, and bring the line back faster than expected. That’s impact.
