storm—keeping equipment calibrated, documentation tight, and
budgets on track—while responding decisively when a line goes down.
Your impact in the first 90 days Map every injection press,
auxiliary, and facility system to a preventive maintenance plan,
then close gaps in procedures and documentation. Establish a
calibration cadence for machine controls; verify screw and barrel
condition against minimum requirements. Stabilize top downtime
drivers through root cause analysis and rapid countermeasures.
Baseline parts inventory and maintenance spend; implement controls

throughput. Operate mobile equipment as needed: forklifts, scissor
lifts, and skid loaders. Maintain thorough records of PMs,
installations, structural repairs, work orders, and facility
operating reports. Control maintenance costs by monitoring
inventory and expenses. Provide technical support for facility
infrastructure: electrical systems, building projects, and
plumbing. Lead continuous improvement; keep work areas and company
grounds safe, orderly, and aligned with 5S. Remain on call 24/7 for
maintenance issues that could impact customer deliveries. Complete
additional related tasks as assigned. What you bring Education High
