Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

The Asset Manager – Mechanical Equipment and Infrastructure is responsible for the life cycle management, performance optimization, and reliability of all mechanical assets within the organization. This includes equipment such as pumps, compressors, HVAC systems, pipelines, pressure vessels, and utility infrastructure. The role ensures that mechanical assets are managed in accordance with industry standards, regulatory requirements, and strategic business objectives, while balancing cost, risk, and performance.


Key Responsibilities:

1. Asset Lifecycle Management:

  • Develop and implement asset management strategies for mechanical systems from acquisition through decommissioning.

  • Maintain an up-to-date asset registry including critical equipment attributes, condition, performance history, and risk profile.

  • Lead capital replacement planning and investment prioritization.

2. Condition Monitoring & Reliability Engineering:

  • Implement predictive and preventive maintenance programs for mechanical infrastructure.

  • Use diagnostic tools (e.g., vibration analysis, thermography, ultrasound) to assess asset condition.

  • Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) and failure mode analysis (FMEA) to address recurring issues.

3. Performance Optimization:

  • Analyze asset utilization, availability, and efficiency to identify opportunities for improvement.

  • Develop key performance indicators (KPIs) and dashboards for asset performance monitoring.

  • Drive initiatives to reduce downtime, improve MTBF/MTTR, and extend asset life.

4. Risk Management & Compliance:

  • Ensure mechanical assets comply with statutory and regulatory requirements (e.g., ASME, API, ISO 55000).

  • Conduct risk assessments for critical assets and develop mitigation plans.

  • Support audits, inspections, and certification processes.

5. Budgeting, Planning & Cost Control:

  • Prepare long-term maintenance budgets and capital renewal forecasts for mechanical assets.

  • Monitor spending against asset management plans and ensure cost-effectiveness.

  • Evaluate lifecycle cost (LCC) for major equipment decisions.

6. Digital Tools & Asset Data Management:

  • Leverage CMMS/EAM systems to track maintenance, condition data, and work orders.

  • Collaborate on the implementation of digital asset management tools, IoT sensors, and data analytics.

  • Maintain asset documentation including drawings, manuals, and maintenance records.

7. Stakeholder Coordination & Reporting:

  • Collaborate with engineering, maintenance, operations, and finance teams to align asset management goals.

  • Present asset condition reports, risk summaries, and investment recommendations to senior leadership.

  • Support capital planning and decision-making processes with data-driven insights.


Key Focus Areas:

  1. Mechanical Asset Lifecycle Planning and Optimization

  2. Preventive & Predictive Maintenance for Mechanical Systems

  3. Condition Monitoring and Reliability Engineering (RCM/FMEA)

  4. Asset Performance Analytics and KPI Tracking

  5. Risk-Based Maintenance & Regulatory Compliance

  6. Capital Replacement Planning and Budgeting

  7. CMMS/EAM System Utilization and Digital Asset Intelligence


Qualifications & Experience:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (Master’s or certification in Asset Management – e.g., IAM, ISO 55000, preferred).

  • 10–20 years of experience in mechanical maintenance, engineering, or asset management roles.

  • Proven experience managing mechanical infrastructure in sectors such as utilities, industrial plants, or critical facilities.

  • Strong knowledge of maintenance strategies, reliability engineering tools, and regulatory standards.


Skills & Competencies:

  • Mechanical System and Equipment Expertise

  • Strategic Asset Management (ISO 55000 Standards)

  • Maintenance Planning & Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM)

  • CMMS/EAM Tools (SAP PM, Maximo, Infor, etc.)

  • Condition Monitoring & Failure Analysis

  • Lifecycle Cost Analysis & Budgeting

  • Strong Analytical, Communication & Reporting Skills

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement
