Technical Trainer: Preventative Maintenance (Conveyor & Automation Systems)
Location: Remote + Travel (20-50%)
Position Overview:
We’re partnering with a well-established material handling integrator seeking a hands-on Technical Trainer to lead preventive maintenance and troubleshooting training for automated conveyor systems and PLC-controlled equipment .
This is not a classroom-only role. We’re looking for someone who has turned wrenches, tracked down root causes, and understands conveyors from the inside out — and can now train maintenance teams to do the same. If you’ve spent years in the field troubleshooting conveyors, diagnosing mechanical failures, and keeping automated systems running, and you enjoy teaching others how to do it right, this role was built for you.
