  • 5 years of experience in engineering, skilled trades, or other technical fields.
  • Proficiency in SAP and Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook).
  • Strong communication, leadership, and decision-making skills.
  • Willingness to support overtime, weekends, and holidays as needed.
  • Solid understanding of safe work practices and environmental regulations.
  • Ability to adapt to changing priorities and high-pressure situations.
  • Experience managing capital and expense-related projects.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Knowledge of preventive and predictive maintenance techniques.

  • Experience working in a unionized (UAW) environment.
  • Exposure to automation, controls, and robotics.
  • Proficiency in SAP maintenance transactions and purchase order creation.
  • Education & Experience :
