  Lead implementation and optimization of predictive maintenance (PdM) technologies, such as:
  • Vibration analysis
  • Infrared thermography
  • Ultrasonic testing
  • Oil and lubrication analysis
  • Motor condition monitoring
  Analyze PdM data to identify early fault indicators and schedule proactive corrective actions. Maintain asset condition dashboards and issue regular reports on equipment health.
• 3. Reliability Engineering Support
  Assist in developing equipment reliability strategies including RCM (Reliability-Centered Maintenance) and FMEA activities. Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) for equipment failures and chronic downtime issues. Work with engineering to improve equipment design, PM procedures, and maintainability. Identify opportunities to reduce maintenance costs through improved reliability.
• 4. CMMS Administration
  Lead the use and continuous improvement of the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS). Ensure accuracy of asset records, job plans, PM tasks, and maintenance histories. Develop KPIs such as PM completion rates, MTBF, MTTR, schedule compliance, and unplanned downtime metrics.
