• Develop and improve maintenance procedures and documentation for new and existing equipment.
• Collaborate with Facilities, Engineering, EHS, IT, R&D, and other campus partners to resolve facility issues and support project goals.
• Help evaluate and justify the tools, equipment, and resources needed to improve safety, efficiency, and quality of work.
