PRIMARY PURPOSE

Keep production equipment secure, reliable, food-safe, and running efficiently through troubleshooting, repairs, inspections, preventive maintenance, and continuous improvement.

MAINTENANCE PRIORITY HIERARCHY

1. Food Safety: Eliminate contamination risks, damaged food-contact parts, leaking seals, loose hardware, improper temporary repairs, and other conditions that could compromise product safety.

2. Equipment / Employee Safety: Identify and correct issues involving guards, interlocks, bearings, electrical or mechanical hazards, and other unsafe equipment conditions.

3. Equipment Reliability & Efficiency: Reduce downtime, correct recurring failures, improve equipment performance, and complete mechanical adjustments needed to maintain consistent production.

4. Preventive Maintenance: Complete scheduled inspections, lubrication, wear-part replacement, equipment-condition checks, and accurate documentation of maintenance findings.

5. Continuous Improvement / Projects: Support equipment upgrades, stronger component designs, guarding improvements, changeover improvements, fabrication, and reliability-focused projects.

EQUIPMENT ENVIRONMENT

The technician should be comfortable troubleshooting, repairing, and maintaining production equipment including:

- Mixers and blending equipment
- Conveyors and material‑handling systems
- Ovens and baking equipment
- Pumps and depositors
- Packaging equipment




- Gearboxes and motors
- Pneumatic systems

PREFERRED MECHANICAL & TECHNICAL SKILLS

- Bearings, shafts, sprockets, chains, belts, and mechanical power‑transmission components
- Gearboxes and electric motors
- Pneumatics and basic hydraulics
- Pumps and mechanical seals
- Stainless‑steel food equipment
- Welding and fabrication
- Troubleshooting recurring mechanical failures and identifying root causes
- Preventive maintenance procedures and equipment inspections
- Reading equipment manuals, schematics, and mechanical drawings
- Basic electrical troubleshooting
- Sensors, switches, and motors
- Lockout/tagout (LOTO)
- Food‑manufacturing sanitation, GMP, and hygienic repair requirements

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

- Equipment is repaired correctly and returned to service safely and efficiently.
- Recurring failures are investigated to determine root cause rather than repeatedly replacing the same part.
- Food‑safety and employee‑safety risks are identified and escalated immediately.
- Preventive maintenance work is completed consistently and documented accurately.
- Equipment condition, required parts, and outstanding maintenance needs are clearly communicated.
- The technician contributes ideas that improve equipment reliability, maintainability, and production efficiency.
