Ensure compliance with OSHA, NEC, NFPA 70E, and internal electrical safety standards.
Support lockout/tagout, machine safety, arc-flash mitigation, and safe electrical work practices.

Documentation & Continuous Improvement

Maintain accurate PLC backups, electrical drawings, control narratives, and technical documentation.
Identify opportunities to improve automation, reduce downtime, standardize controls hardware, and enhance manufacturing performance.
Support Lean Manufacturing, reliability initiatives, and continuous improvement projects.
