- Leading energy efficiency projects will enable you to contribute directly to reducing energy consumption, aligning with the organisation's environmental sustainability goals.
- A strong safety culture is paramount; you will enforce strict compliance with Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) procedures, Working At Heights (WAH) practices, and conduct regular safety meetings to instil best practices across the maintenance teams.
- Implementing operational excellence tools including Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), 5S workplace organisation, Kaizen continuous improvement methodologies, and Poka-Yoke error-proofing techniques will be integral to enhancing equipment reliability and fostering disciplined work environments.
