Job Description

Key Responsibilities:

Team Management & Supervision

Lead, coach, and supervise a team of maintenance technicians/mechanics. Assign maintenance tasks, schedule shifts, and ensure coverage. Conduct performance reviews, training, and development of maintenance staff.

Maintenance Planning & Execution

Develop, schedule, and manage preventive maintenance (PM) activities. Oversee corrective (breakdown) maintenance, ensuring rapid response. Implement predictive maintenance strategies (if applicable) like vibration analysis, thermal imaging, etc. Plan and coordinate shutdowns or planned maintenance windows with production.

Technical Trouble-shooting

Diagnose mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and electromechanical issues. Troubleshoot and resolve complex equipment failures. Work closely with engineering to improve machine performance and reliability.

Spare Parts & Inventory Management

Maintain inventory of critical spare parts, tools, and consumables. Liaise with procurement to ensure timely availability of parts. Optimize inventory levels to balance cost and uptime.

Safety & Compliance

Enforce and promote safe work practices, ensuring compliance with EHS regulations. Implement lockout/tagout (LOTO), permit-to-work, and other safety protocols. Conduct regular safety audits and inspections.

Continuous Improvement

Lead root-cause analysis (RCA) for recurring equipment problems. Propose and implement corrective/preventive measures. Drive continuous improvement initiatives (e.g., TPM, Lean maintenance).

Budget & Cost Control

Monitor maintenance budget -- labor, parts, tools. Identify cost-saving opportunities in maintenance operations. Report maintenance metrics (downtime, MTBF, maintenance cost) to senior management.

Documentation & Reporting

Maintain accurate maintenance records (work orders, machine history, maintenance logs). Use a CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) for planning and tracking. Prepare and present regular reports (KPIs, maintenance schedule, asset health) to management.

Project Support

Support installation, commissioning, and validation of new machines or upgrades. Coordinate with vendors, contractors for major repair or project work.

5+ years in industrial maintenance, with at least 2-3 years in a supervisory role (or depending on company).

Technical Knowledge:

Strong mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic system knowledge. Familiarity with PLCs, motor drives, instrumentation (if relevant to air-dryer machinery). Experience with CMMS.

Soft Skills:

Leadership, team management, and communication skills. Problem-solving and analytical mindset. Time management and ability to prioritize tasks.

Safety Knowledge:

Good understanding of workplace safety standards, LOTO, etc.

Computer Skills:

MS Office, CMMS tools, possibly basic knowledge of SAP/EAM system.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

Equipment uptime / downtime (e.g., % uptime) Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) Number of preventive maintenance tasks completed on schedule Maintenance cost per unit of production Safety incidents in maintenance

Working Conditions:

Typically in a manufacturing plant environment -- exposure to noise, machinery, high temperature, etc. Shift work may be required (depending on production schedule). On-call responsibility for breakdowns may be needed.
