The company that bought the buildings where the business I worked for was located, hired me to do machine automation maintenance. That company, Provia, is going to put a new steel entry door production line in the building where I worked formerly. My job will be to help keep that line running, once it's built. (Mostly working with Rockwell PLC software.)
