• Replace wear parts (belts, rollers, bearings, chains, wheels, hoses) and perform alignment and calibration where applicable.
• Coordinate with operations to schedule safe shutdown windows and reopen the line with verified checks.
• Follow safety procedures (e.g., controlled energy isolation, safe testing, housekeeping).

Requirements and certifications

Exact requirements depend on employer, province, and the site environment (distribution center vs manufacturing warehouse).
