Day in the life

You arrive for second shift and step into a clean, refrigerated production floor where reliability matters. You scan the maintenance log, prioritize a packaging line tune-up, and pull up schematics to isolate a 480V fault. A quick component swap, parameter tweak on a VFD, and that slicer is humming again. Before the shift ends, you complete PMs on conveyors and coolers, document your work, and collaborate with production to schedule a weekend install.
