SCHEDULE

This is a second-shift position, Monday through Friday. Normal work hours will be either 2:00 PM–2:00 AM or 4:00 PM–4:00 AM.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Accurately document inspections, maintenance, and repairs performed, including work completed and parts used.
• Clearly communicate mechanical and safety concerns to supervisors, including repairs requiring additional diagnosis, parts, or follow-up work.
• Identify and document defects discovered during PMs, inspections, or repairs so they can be properly addressed.
