Maintenance Engineer

About the Role

The Tinting process is a critical part of our production line, involving specialized equipment that requires consistent monitoring, preventive maintenance, and rapid troubleshooting to avoid downtime. Our maintenance team is currently stretched across multiple departments and the Tinting area is increasingly vulnerable to delays due to limited engineering support. Adding a dedicated Maintenance Engineer will:

• Ensure faster response times to equipment issues.
• Reduce unplanned downtime and improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
• Support continuous improvement initiatives specific to Tinting operations.

As part of our organizational goal to implement TPM, the Maintenance Engineer will support TPM rollout and drive cross-functional collaboration, data-driven analysis, and structured execution. The engineer will play a key role in:

• Facilitating TPM pillars such as Autonomous Maintenance, Planned Maintenance, and Early Equipment Management.
• Coordinating with production teams to train operators and standardize maintenance routines.
• Collecting and analyzing machine data to identify chronic losses and improvement opportunities.

Adding this headcount is expected to yield measurable returns and mitigate risks by:

• Reducing maintenance costs through proactive interventions.
• Lowering spare parts consumption due to better equipment care.
• Minimizing production losses from breakdowns and quality defects.
• Improving safety and compliance, reducing risk of incidents and regulatory issues.

As production volume and complexity increase, this role will stabilize current operations and prepare the organization for future expansion and innovation.

Responsibilities

• Conduct preventive and corrective maintenance to ensure equipment reliability and minimize production downtime.
• Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, and automation issues and implement effective solutions.
• Maintain detailed records of maintenance activities, inspections, and repairs.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support production goals and continuous improvement.
• Ensure compliance with safety standards and company policies during all maintenance operations.
• Manage spare parts inventory and coordinate procurement to avoid delays.
• Lead and support TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) implementation across departments to promote autonomous maintenance and equipment ownership.
• Monitor and improve key maintenance KPIs such as OEE, MTBF, and MTTR.
• Participate in root cause analysis and develop corrective and preventive actions for recurring issues.
• Support installation, testing, and commissioning of new equipment and upgrades.
• Provide technical training and guidance to operators and junior technicians.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
• Proven experience in equipment maintenance within a manufacturing or industrial environment.
• Strong knowledge of mechanical, electrical, and automation systems.
• Familiarity with TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) principles and implementation.
• Ability to analyze and improve maintenance KPIs such as OEE, MTBF, and MTTR.
• Proficient in using CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management Systems) and maintenance reporting tools.
• Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
• Good understanding of safety standards and regulatory compliance.
• Effective communication and teamwork skills.
• Ability to work under pressure and manage multiple tasks.
• Willingness to work flexible hours or shifts if required.
