    • Lead skills-up programs on advanced mechanical repair techniques and condition-monitoring methods.

  • Preventive & Predictive Maintenance

    • Oversee implementation of vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis, and other predictive technologies.

    • Validate and continuously improve preventive maintenance (PM) routes, work instructions, and intervals.

  • Corrective & Emergency Maintenance

    • Lead root-cause troubleshooting of complex equipment failures; apply structured problem-solving (5-Why, Fishbone).

    • Ensure rapid deployment of resources and availability of critical spares for emergency repairs.

  • Reliability & Continuous Improvement

    • Track and analyze maintenance KPIs (MTBF, MTTR, planned/unplanned ratio, schedule compliance); implement corrective actions.

    • Drive small-scale reliability projects (e.g., bearing upgrades, alignment improvements, retrofit kits).

  • Safety, Compliance & Quality

    • Enforce LOTO, permit-to-work, and EHS procedures; lead incident investigations and preventive measures.

    • Ensure mechanical maintenance work meets internal quality standards and external regulatory requirements.
