The role requires you to work alongside key engineering stakeholders from Utilties, Infrastructure, Milk & Juice Processing and Production Plants as well as PET & HDPE Blow Moulding departments.

Job Responsibilities 1

Lead, develop and implement reliability-centred maintenance (RCM) programs for critical food processing equipment (Boiler, Refrigeration, AHU, liquid processing plant inc. pasteurisers & homogenisers, production plant inc. rotary & linear fillers, vision systems plus robots on packaging lines).

Conduct failure mode, Cause and effects analysis (FMECA) to identify and mitigate risks through the introduction of RCM.

Optimize mean time between failure (MTBF) and mean time to repair (MTTR) through data-driven improvements to grow Machine Mechanical Efficiency (MME).

Lead and deploy condition-based monitoring technologies (Machine Learning & AI techniques,vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis, ultrasonic testing).

Working Collaboratively with the Engineering Planners, utilize SAP Fiori to schedule, track and trend maintenance activities.

Implement IoT-based predictive technology to reduce unplanned downtime.

Develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) for critical maintenance tasks.

Lead RCA investigations for chronic equipment failures and quality deviations.
