Senior Specialist Field Service Engineering - Hybrid
Nestlé · Thonotosassa, FL · 1 mo ago
Full-time
Key Responsibilities
- Lead advanced troubleshooting and root cause investigations across electrical, mechanical, fluid, refrigeration, and control systems on multiple beverage platforms.
- Coach field technicians through real-time, structured problem solving — emphasizing the issue, cause, and fix mindset rather than scripted procedures.
- Diagnose complex, multi-system failures (dispensing, heating, refrigeration circuits, electronic controls, plumbing assemblies) and recommend creative, durable corrective actions.
- Validate parts identification and build cross-platform component intelligence to support standardization and faster repairs.
- Partner with Engineering and Quality on systemic issues, using data and field evidence to influence design and reliability decisions.
Training and Capability Development
- Design and deliver modern, interactive technical training — blending in-person, virtual, video, simulation, and microlearning experiences.
- Teach technicians to think diagnostically, not just procedurally — building confidence in electronics, electrical, mechanical, refrigeration, and plumbing disciplines.
- Standardize service procedures and technical knowledge across the field organization while encouraging local innovation and feedback loops.
- Maintain training records, competency tracking, and audit-ready documentation through digital learning platforms.
Data Analysis and Continuous Improvement
- Analyze service trends, failure modes, and parts usage across system types to uncover patterns the team might otherwise miss.
- Build and maintain Power BI dashboards, Power Automate workflows, and Microsoft 365 solutions that turn field data into actionable insight.
- Apply critical thinking and structured improvement methods (e.g., 5 Whys, DMAIC, Kaizen) to reduce downtime, repeat calls, and waste.
- Surface opportunities for automation, AI augmentation, and predictive maintenance to move the team from reactive to proactive service.
Strategic and Lifecycle Management
- Contribute to equipment lifecycle strategy — Grow, Maintain, Sunset, Exit — using both data and field intuition.
- Support product transitions, obsolescence planning, and replacement-part validation with a total-cost-of-ownership and sustainability lens.
- Provide serviceability, reliability, and design-for-repair input during new equipment introductions and product updates.
- Influence component standardization to simplify the field experience and reduce excess and waste.
