Keep second-shift production and packaging lines running by troubleshooting and repairing electrical and PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) control systems alongside Maintenance, and by delivering small controls improvements that reduce downtime.

**Scope and Range:**

Works with limited day-to-day supervision on 2nd shift as the primary controls resource supporting Maintenance.

• **Drawings and schematics:** read and troubleshoot from electrical schematics; create simple electrical drawings and circuits; mark up and update as-built drawings in AutoCAD Electrical so documentation stays current after repairs and changes.
• **Root cause and improvement:** convert repeat failures into corrective actions and small improvement projects that reduce downtime, in coordination with Engineering.
• **Safe electrical work:** perform all work in compliance with LOTO, NFPA 70E, and arc-flash PPE (personal protective equipment) requirements, including work on energized equipment only when permitted by procedure.
• **Equipment installation support:** assist with wiring, checkout, and startup of new equipment and capital projects as assigned.
• **Documentation:** record work performed, failure cause, and parts used on work orders in the CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System); submit parts requests; keep PLC program backups and shift notes current.
• **Food safety:** know and follow GMP and all food safety guidelines, including foreign-material control and sanitary work practices around food-contact equipment.

**Other Job Functions:**

• Coach 2nd shift maintenance technicians on controls troubleshooting techniques and PLC/HMI (Human-Machine Interface) fault diagnosis.
• Participate in equipment risk assessments, including HRN (Hazard Rating Number) scoring, and help close out resulting actions.
• Support preventive maintenance and reliability activities related to electrical and controls equipment.
• Be available for overtime or call-in support for urgent breakdowns, and weekend project work as business needs require.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

**Experience & Skills we value:**

• Hands-on PLC programming and online troubleshooting experience with Allen-Bradley controllers using Studio 5000 Logix Designer, including ladder logic.
