Maintain machinery in proper working condition through lubrication, cleaning, replacement of worn components, and tooling adjustments.

Troubleshoot mechanical issues quickly and accurately to reduce downtime and maintain production efficiency.

Ensure all safety devices, guards, and controls are installed, functioning correctly, and used properly at all times.

Monitor production output to maintain quality standards, identify issues early, and minimize scrap and rework.

Use gauges, measuring devices, and inspection tools to verify that products meet required specifications and tolerances.

Respond safely and effectively to jams, line stoppages, and mechanical problems, restoring equipment to operation promptly.

Train and support operators and packers on proper machine operation, safety procedures, and best practices for efficiency.
