  • Ability to lift 40+ lbs., climb ladders, and access equipment safely.
  • Willing and able to travel, including overnight trips.
Growth, Support, and Benefits

  • Comprehensive benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and more.
  • Training and certification support to advance your expertise.
  • Clear pathways for advancement within a growing reliability team.
Preferred Strengths
  • Electrical troubleshooting skills
  • Process engineering know‑how
  • Customer-oriented service mindset
  • High-level operations analysis
