Supervisory Responsibilities: None

A day in the life

You start your shift walking the foundry floor, eyes and ears tuned to the heartbeat of the equipment. A die cast machine needs a PLC parameter check, a pneumatic cylinder is due for a seal inspection, and an operator has flagged a hydraulic pressure fluctuation. You diagnose, repair, and keep production humming—safely and efficiently.

  • Diagnose and repair hydraulic and pneumatic systems to ensure reliable operation.
  • Perform broad foundry maintenance, including electrical work and plumbing.

What helps you succeed

  • Comfort working with electrical systems up to 480-volt, 3-phase.
  • Hands-on troubleshooting from 5-volt DC through 480-volt AC.
  • Ability to troubleshoot and repair hydraulic and pneumatic circuits.
  • Plumbing experience for routine and corrective maintenance.
  • Familiarity with ABB, Motoman, and Rimrock robots is a plus.
  • PC skills to go online for diagnostics and troubleshooting are helpful.
  • Ability to use RS5 and RS500 logics.
  • Die casting background preferred.

  • Willingness to work overtime and weekends as needed.
  • Effective interpersonal skills to collaborate across shifts and teams.
