A day in this role

You’ll move throughout the plant and grounds to keep our utilities and process piping performing at their best. Your day may start troubleshooting a steam issue at the boiler, shift to repairing a sump pump, then finish with sanitary welding on stainless process lines.

• Leverage pneumatic principles to troubleshoot and repair air-driven systems
• Perform pipe threading and fitting across iron, steel, stainless steel, copper, and PVC
• Use PRO Press tools effectively for secure, efficient connections
• Weld (gas and arc) and solder; perform sanitary welding to certification standards
• Identify and order replacement parts via OEM manuals, drawings, and prints
• Document and communicate clearly; follow and provide written and verbal direction
• Execute preventive and corrective maintenance routines
• Operate and maintain boiler systems
• Operate and maintain refrigeration systems
• Champion plant programs that protect food safety, nurture a strong food safety culture, uphold quality, and keep facilities audit-ready
