Key Responsibilities

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

• Assist in routine, preventive, and breakdown maintenance of rotary equipment (pumps, compressors, blowers, gearboxes, turbines) and static equipment (piping, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, valves, tanks).
• Support root cause failure analysis (RCFA) for frequent or critical equipment failures to minimize unplanned downtime.
• Monitor operating parameters (vibration, temperature, oil pressure, noise levels) and report anomalies immediately.

Operations & Utilities

• Shadow plant engineers in monitoring utility systems, including boilers, chilling units, compressed air systems, cooling towers, and water treatment units.
• Track daily utility consumption metrics and identify opportunities to reduce energy losses.

Execution & Overhauls

• Assist in planning and executing planned equipment shutdowns, major overhauls, and turnaround activities.
• Coordinate with technicians and contract labor for daily mechanical tasks, alignment, and seal replacements.
• Maintain accurate logs of maintenance activities, equipment histories, and spare parts utilization.

Safety & Compliance (EHS)

• Comply with all site safety protocols, including Work Permit Systems (Hot Work, Confined Space, Height Work), Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), and personal protective equipment (PPE) mandates.
• Participate actively in safety tool-box talks (TBT), safety audits, and hazard identification (HIRA).

Documentation & Continuous Improvement

• Update technical records, checklist logs, and maintenance history cards in the CMMS/ERP (SAP/Maximo).
• Contribute to plant reliability initiatives, 5S practices, Kaizen, and autonomous maintenance projects.
