• Ensure work is performed safely and in compliance with site programs, including lockout/tagout, electrical safety, hot work, confined space, contractor safety, and required permits.
• Drive disciplined use of the computerized maintenance management system, including work requests, work orders, labor hours, parts usage, equipment history, and close-out documentation.
• Build and execute preventive and predictive maintenance routines based on equipment criticality, manufacturer guidance, failure history, and operating needs.
• Lead troubleshooting and root-cause problem solving for recurring mechanical, electrical, controls, utility, and facility issues; ensure corrective actions are completed and sustained.
• Coordinate external service providers, define work scope, verify safe work practices, monitor quality and progress, and confirm satisfactory completion.
• Maintain an organized, clean, and controlled maintenance shop, parts storage area, tools, technical files, and critical-spares inventory using 5S principles.
• Support commissioning, equipment modifications, capital projects, and asset handover by ensuring maintenance documentation, spare parts, training, and preventive maintenance requirements are in place.
• Partner with Quality and Production to complete maintenance work in a manner that protects product safety, quality, and manufacturing continuity.
• Develop technician capability through coaching, job assignments, cross-training, standard work, and clear performance expectations.
• Monitor maintenance performance and communicate priorities, risks, downtime, backlog, preventive maintenance completion, and resource needs to the Engineering & Maintenance Manager.
• Participate in site continuous improvement activities and identify practical opportunities to improve safety, reliability, cost, and maintainability.
• Support emergency response and participate in an on-call or after-hours rotation when required by site needs.
