• Support preventive and predictive maintenance activities to improve equipment reliability and minimize downtime.
• Proactively identify and resolve equipment, material, and supply issues that could impact safety, quality, or production performance.
• Safely operate material handling equipment and assist with inventory management to ensure materials and supplies are available while minimizing waste and controlling costs.

• Participate in autonomous maintenance, continuous improvement initiatives, and the development and revision of procedures and work instructions to drive operational excellence.
• Maintain required training and certifications, communicate production and quality concerns effectively, and ensure timely escalation of issues to leadership when appropriate.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support a culture of safety, quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.
