They perform routine inspections, troubleshoot issues, and carry out preventative maintenance to minimize downtime.

Familiarity with tools such as welders, grinders, pneumatic systems, and computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving, teamwork, and communication are critical soft skills that help address repairs efficiently and collaborate with production teams. These abilities ensure machinery runs safely and efficiently, minimizing downtime and supporting consistent mill operations.
