A day in the life

You start by opening the CMMS on your tablet, reviewing preventive maintenance work orders and prioritizing tasks around production needs. As you move through the plant, you audit equipment and safety checks, then dive into a mix of mechanical and electrical troubleshooting—from 24VDC circuits and 120–480VAC systems to tracking 4–20 mA signals and HMI-controlled processes.

Before lunch, you swap a CPVC section, service air-actuated valves, and inspect the steam boiler. In the afternoon, you might overhaul a pneumatic pump, adjust an air compressor, or tune a water cooling/treatment system. When a line break is required, you execute containment and cleaning procedures, then restore pumps, valves, instrumentation, and associated piping to spec.

You also keep the facility in top shape—doors, outlets, lights, A/C filters, and shelving—while practicing 5S standards. Work at height is routine for you: ladders, scissor lifts, even the top of tanks. Throughout, you follow chemical PPE requirements, Lock-Out/Tag-Out, and other life-critical rules, and you coordinate contractors on site to the same standards. You document work in the CMMS, manage parts inventory, and communicate classed-environment restrictions to coworkers and partners.

• Self-directed maintenance driven by CMMS preventive work orders and production priorities
• Routine audits for tasks, equipment condition, and safety compliance
• Mechanical troubleshooting of process and facility assets
• Electrical troubleshooting on 24VDC and 120–480VAC equipment, plus 4–20 mA instrumentation
• Troubleshooting HMI-controlled systems
• CPVC/PVC pipe repairs
• Service and upkeep of air actuated valves, steam boiler, pneumatic pumps, air compressors, motors and motor-driven pumps, water cooling and water treatment systems, strainers, and filter vessels
• Maintenance on pumps, valves, instrumentation, and piping that requires line breaks, containment, and cleaning
• Facility and infrastructure maintenance (doors, outlets, lights, A/C filters, shelving, and other non-process equipment)
• Regular work at heights using ladders and scissor lifts, including on top of tanks
• Strict adherence to required chemical PPE, Lock-Out/Tag-Out, and life-critical safety rules
• 5S housekeeping and organization standards
• Coordination and oversight of contractors to ensure work aligns with company policy and safety guidelines
• Communicating classed-environment safety requirements and restrictions to coworkers and contractors
• Use of CMMS, Microsoft PowerPoint/Word/Excel/Outlook, web searches, and tablet/computer interfaces
• Inventory management for parts and supplies
