* Maintain accurate technical documentation, including wiring diagrams, PLC backups, change logs, and maintenance reports.
* Ensure compliance with safety standards, including lockout/tagout procedures and electrical regulations.
* Participate in continuous improvement initiatives and support plant optimization activities (PPI).
What We’re Looking For

* Knowledge of PLC systems, HMIs, sensors, and industrial electrical systems.
* Ability to diagnose and troubleshoot issues across electrical, mechanical, and software domains.
* Understanding of preventive maintenance practices and equipment reliability principles.
