- Promote and apply continuous improvement methods to introduce better working practices.
- Communicate and work with internal and external departments to maintain strong customer satisfaction and manage expectations.
- Ensure the safe operation of all plant and equipment and uphold safe working practices for the team, contractors, and apprentices — acting as the senior engineering representative on site when required.
- Support management of the preventive maintenance schedule, reactive/BD work orders, and critical and non-critical spare parts.
- Provide clear and timely communication, including daily, weekly, and monthly written reports.
- Oversee effective team management, including housekeeping, accurate PPM/IFS record-keeping, completion of required safety documentation (SISI, 5S, SSW, PTW, etc.), shift paperwork, thorough shift handovers, leading team meetings, toolbox talks, and delivering one-point lessons.
