• Plan work strategically to minimize production downtime.

Advanced Troubleshooting & Problem Solving

• Perform root cause analysis on complex mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic issues using advanced diagnostic tools.
• Troubleshoot process-driven challenges such as viscosity variation, inconsistent output, and automated packaging line issues, collaborating closely with Quality and Production.
• Understand how systems interact — from pump-motor alignment to sensor feedback loops — and resolve issues holistically.

Preventive & Predictive Maintenance Leadership

• Build and refine preventive maintenance programs using predictive techniques like oil analysis and vibration trending.
• Optimize maintenance schedules based on real-world equipment usage and wear patterns.
• Maintain accurate, compliant records in Limble CMMS.

Continuous Improvement & Process Optimization

• Recommend and implement equipment upgrades that improve throughput, reliability, energy usage, and safety.
• Apply lean maintenance and GMP principles to reduce waste and increase uptime.
• Partner with Engineering and Operations to fine-tune process parameters for consistent product quality.

Training, Mentorship & Team Development

• Mentor and train Level 1 and Level 2 Technicians through hands-on coaching and knowledge sharing.
• Support skill development in areas like hydraulics, vacuum systems, diagnostics, and safe handling of hazardous materials.
• Help build a team culture grounded in respect, accountability, and shared success.

Vendor & Project Coordination

• Work with external vendors on specialized repairs, equipment optimization, and packaging system improvements (e.g., ProSys).
• Evaluate proposals, manage timelines, and ensure work meets safety, quality, and environmental standards.
