• Proven track record improving maintenance KPIs - MTTR, MTBF, OEE, and breakdown reduction.
• Project management experience with the ability to plan, budget, and execute multiple initiatives simultaneously.

• Build and sustain CMMS-driven preventive maintenance (PM) schedules with high PM compliance and a strong planned-vs-reactive ratio.
• Deploy condition-based maintenance (CBM) techniques - vibration, thermal, electrical, and oil analysis - to detect failures before they cause downtime.
• Drive continuous improvement (CI) initiatives using root cause analysis (RCA) and equipment work orders (EWO) to permanently eliminate recurring failures.
• Track, analyze, and improve all maintenance KPIs, including MTTR, MTBF, OEE, and breakdown frequency.
• Use data and trend analysis to target chronic failures, prioritize resources, and report reliability performance to the Maintenance Director.
