Voltage Equipment manufacturing facility, inclusive of remote sites. The role ensures maximum
equipment uptime, reliability, and performance through proactive maintenance strategies,
effective resource utilisation, and compliance with SHEQ standards

Responsibilities:

Develop, implement, and oversee preventive and predictive maintenance programs for all
production and auxiliary equipment (e.g., coil winding machines, vacuum systems (ovens, oil
plant), testing equipment, CNC machines, presses, and assembly lines).
➢ Coordinate troubleshooting, repairs, and upgrades to minimize downtime and optimise
production output.
➢ Maintain accurate asset register, maintenance logs, equipment history and spare parts
inventory records.
➢ Collaborate with engineering and production teams on equipment modifications,
installations and commissioning of new machinery.
➢ Liaise with external service providers, OEMs, and suppliers for maintenance support and
spare parts procurement.
➢ Implement and maintain a maintenance management system (MMS) for scheduling, tracking,
and reporting maintenance activities.
➢ Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) such as equipment uptime, mean time between
failures (MTBF), and mean time to repair (MTTR).
➢ Drive reliability improvement initiatives using root cause analysis (RCA), 5S, and lean
maintenance techniques.
➢ Collaborate with industrial and design engineers to enhance equipment performance and
efficiency.
➢ Evaluate and implement new maintenance technologies, tools, and best practices

Maintenance Cost Control:
➢ Assist in preparing the maintenance department’s annual budget, including labour, spare
parts and external services.
➢ Monitor and control maintenance costs to achieve budget targets without compromising
reliability or safety.
➢ Identify and implement cost-saving initiatives and energy efficiency projects.
Human Resource:
➢ Supervise & co-ordinate a team of maintenance assistants, electricians, fitters, and
apprentices.
➢ Develop team competencies through structured training programs on mechanical, electrical,
and instrumentation maintenance.
➢ Conduct performance appraisals, identify skills gaps, and implement development plans for
maintenance staff.
➢ Create a culture of teamwork, accountability, and continuous improvement within the
maintenance department.
➢ Ensure effective shift planning and resource allocation to support 24/7 operations (where
applicable).
➢ Assist in the recruitment and selection of maintenance personnel

SHEQ Management (ISO9001, ISO14001 & ISO45001)
➢ Ensure all maintenance activities comply with the factory’s SHEQ policies, standards, and
relevant statutory regulations.
➢ Lead risk assessments, job safety analyses (JSAs), and permit-to-work systems for
maintenance tasks.
➢ Promote and enforce safe work practices, use of PPE, and proper lock-out/tag-out (LOTO)
procedures.
➢ Coordinate with the SHEQ department to investigate incidents, root causes, and implement
corrective actions.
➢ Ensure environmental compliance during equipment maintenance, including proper waste
disposal and spill prevention.
➢ Support quality initiatives by maintaining equipment calibration and ensuring machinery
operates within specified tolerances.
➢ Participate in internal and external SHEQ audits and contribute to continuous improvement
of systems.
