  • Collaborate closely with engineering and production teams to ensure every machine runs at its highest potential.
  • Initiate and lead
    continuous improvement
    projects to boost reliability, efficiency, and performance.
  • Track, document, and analyze all maintenance activities, using data to uncover trends and opportunities.
  • Prepare detailed, insight-driven reports for management reviews, not just numbers, but stories behind the data.
  • Lead root cause analyses (RCA) and implement durable corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
  • Supervise contractors and vendors to ensure work quality and safety standards are never compromised.
  • Drive and support digital transformation initiatives, transitioning maintenance operations from analog to smart, connected systems.
  • Challenge the status quo, bring fresh ideas, and push the boundaries of what maintenance can be.

  • Experience in project-based maintenance such as
    new machine installations or retrofitting
    is preferred.
  • Familiarity with TPM, 5S, and CMMS systems is a plus.
  • Strong analytical, logical, and creative problem-solving skills.
  • Confident communicator who can turn technical insights into actionable management reports.
  • A proactive mindset aligned with
    Industry 4.0
    , eager to transform processes and implement smart solutions.
  • Ability to perform in a high-pressure work environment physically and mentally.
