The factory is moving forward with continuous improvement principles and actively developing TPM processes so it’s an exciting time to be involved, and it is expected that you will play a key part in the move from reactive to proactive maintenance.

Planned maintenance will often involve inspecting parts and identifying signs that premature failure may be imminent, such as wear, impact damage and degradation of seals etc. so as to maximise line performance by reducing breakdowns and deterioration. You will be working to optimise maintenance of machinery and assets, by feeding back necessary improvements to the frequency and content of the maintenance activities.

Whilst most of the work in the role will be planned there may be occasions on which you are required to respond to breakdowns within the plant, working with shift technicians and operators to help diagnose faults.
