Ideal Candidate

We're looking for an engineer with a strong maintenance background who enjoys working on equipment as much as analyzing it. The right person is practical, mechanically inclined, and comfortable getting onto the plant floor to diagnose issues, support technicians, and drive long-term reliability improvements.

If you're a hands-on problem solver who takes pride in keeping industrial equipment running at its best, we encourage you to apply.
