- Coordinate maintenance activities across a site, networking with plant engineers and senior technicians to sequence repairs and minimize equipment downtime
- Knowledge applied
- Applies broad mechanical, electronic and systems knowledge across diverse equipment types; uses CMMS data and performance indicators to inform maintenance decisions.
- Complexity & problem solving
- Evaluates identifiable factors to solve diverse problems; moves beyond checklist repair toward recognizing patterns and correcting recurring failures.
