• Contribute to preventive, predictive, and condition-based maintenance strategies within a continuous production environment.

• Collaborate with maintenance teams by providing technical guidance, sharing knowledge, and supporting safe work practices (LOTO) and consistent standards.

• Analyze equipment issues, recurring failures, and production impacts using tools such as SAP PM and key performance indicators (e.g., MTTR, MTBF, availability) to identify opportunities for improvement.

• Apply predictive maintenance techniques (such as vibration analysis, ultrasound, thermography, and motor circuit analysis) to support equipment reliability.

• Help define and maintain lubrication practices, support implementation of lubrication systems, and contribute to spare parts strategies based on equipment needs and lifecycle considerations.

• Participate in coordination with maintenance, production, and quality teams, including involvement in shutdowns, turnarounds, and continuous improvement initiatives focused on equipment effectiveness and loss reduction.

• Degree (VI/VII) in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering

• At least 5 years of experience in equipment reliability, maintenance engineering, or industrial manufacturing

• Proficiency in English

• Working knowledge of MS Office (Excel, Word, Outlook)

• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams to support operational performance and reliability
