You will work independently, manage your own service activities, and act as the technical point of contact for customers.
Your responsibilities will include:
Installing and commissioning new industrial machinery and production lines.
Performing preventive and corrective maintenance on process and packaging equipment.
Diagnosing and independently resolving complex mechanical and electrical breakdowns.
Troubleshooting PLC-controlled systems, electronics, sensors, and automation equipment.
