Scott Sova | Technical Lead
YEARS AT ORBIS: 12
EDUCATION/CERTIFICATION: Associates Degree in Technical Studies
What do you do on a day-to-day basis at your job?
I work with the Maintenance Techs to complete preventative maintenance on our machines, building repairs/upgrades, mold repairs, machine repairs/upgrades, and continuous improvement projects with different departments. I also help process techs when needed.
How did you arrive at your current position? What was your professional or career path?
I started at ORBIS when I was 20 as a temporary employee working as an Operator. I was hired on as a Regrind Operator, then a Process Technician for six years. When a Maintenance Tech position opened, I applied and got that job. In 2019, my boss retired and I applied for and got his job; I have been the Technical Lead/ Maintenance Manager ever since.
What is the best part about your job?
I like working with the people. I enjoy working on different projects improving the building, machines, molds, and projects that make other employee’s jobs easier. I still enjoy trying to figure out issues with machines when they break down.
