ROLE OBJECTIVE

The Position to lead a team of Mechanical Engineers and Technicians of the Operations team in upkeeping the equipment.

RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Equipment Maintenance: Conduct routine inspections and maintenance on SPM’s to ensure they are in optimal working condition. Ensure KPI’s like MTTR and MTBF as per the target taken.
2. Troubleshooting: Diagnose and resolve mechanical issues and malfunctions promptly to minimize downtime. This includes analyzing and repairing mechanical components. Diagnose chronic machine failures and perform "root cause" corrections, often involving the fabrication of custom parts or hardware adjustments.
3. Repairs and Upgrades: Perform mechanical repairs and upgrades as needed, keeping abreast of technological advancements to recommend and implement improvements.
4. Precision Maintenance: Execute teardowns, repairs, and preventive maintenance on a wide array of small mechanical tools and high-precision components. Develop and implement preventive maintenance programs to extend the lifespan of mechanical assembly parts and reduce the likelihood of unexpected failures.
5. Small Tool Management: Oversee the inventory, calibration, and sharpening of specialized tooling, ensuring all equipment meets tight tolerance standards.
6. Safety Compliance: Ensure that all mechanical systems and maintenance activities comply with safety standards and regulations. Implement safety measures to protect personnel and equipment.
7. Documentation: Maintain detailed records of equipment maintenance, repair work, and replacement parts. Keep an inventory of spare parts and order replacements as needed. Create schematics or updated CAD drawings for any "in-field" modifications made to standard equipment wherever required.
