A Day in the Life of an Alsum Farms & Produce Maintenance Technician Lead

As a Second (2nd) Shift Maintenance Technician Lead, you arrive each day ready to ensure that all our operations can perform. We focus on preventative and proactive maintenance.

Once production operates the equipment to standard, the Maintenance Technicians close out the work orders. They are responsible for documenting the proper failure codes, failure causes, time taken to complete the job, and any other information required in the synopsis. As the Maintenance Technician Lead, you will be responsible for training new technicians.
