No two days are the same. One day you might be servicing the grain mill, the next rebuilding a pump or welding a damaged yard rail. You'll work closely with the on-site team while having plenty of autonomy to plan and manage your own work. Your focus is preventative maintenance and fast, effective in-house repairs. Major breakdowns are handled by external specialists, with you coordinating and supporting them.
