• Identify and report equipment deficiencies, unusual sounds, leaks, or wear conditions to the Maintenance Lead immediately
• Follow all LSC safety protocols, lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures, and PPE requirements without exception
• Maintain a clean and organized maintenance shop and work area at all times
• Participate actively in safety meetings, training sessions, and skills development
• Demonstrate curiosity about production systems — ask questions, learn how equipment is built, understand why it fails

REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS

• High school diploma or GED required; vocational or technical training in industrial maintenance, mechatronics, or a related field preferred
• 1-3 years of hands-on experience in an industrial maintenance, manufacturing, or skilled trades environment

• Ability to use hand tools, power tools, and precision measuring instruments safely and correctly
• Familiarity with LOTO procedures and safe maintenance practices in an industrial environment
• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow written work orders and SOPs precisely
