Familiarity with preventive maintenance programs, maintenance planning, equipment reliability practices, and technical documentation systems.
Experience working within regulated environments requiring disciplined conduct of work, controlled procedures, quality documentation, and rigorous safety practices is preferred.
Ability to work safely in chemical and radiological environments, meet applicable training and qualification requirements, and use required personal protective equipment such as laboratory gloves, eye protection, and on-occasion Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPRs).
Strong technical judgment, communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, operations, and technical teams.
Willingness to support flexible work schedules, including occasional evenings or weekends, as necessary to meet production and facility needs.
The successful candidate will demonstrate high standards of safety, technical excellence, integrity, and teamwork, with the initiative and leadership ability to help build a capable, disciplined, and high-performing maintenance organization.
