Equipment Reliability & Maintenance: * Execute and optimize Preventive (PM) and Predictive (PdM) maintenance schedules for all mechanical assets.Oversee the maintenance of heavy steel plant machinery, including:Melt Shop: Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF), Ladle Furnaces (LF), and Cranes.Casting & Rolling: Continuous Casting Machines (CCM), reheating furnaces, rolling stands, shears, and cooling beds.Auxiliary Systems: Hydraulic/pneumatic systems, water treatment plants, air compressors, and gearboxes.Troubleshooting & Emergency Repair:Lead root-cause analysis (RCA) on chronic or catastrophic mechanical failures to prevent recurrence.Provide rapid-response technical support during unplanned breakdowns to minimize costly production downtime.Team Leadership & Safety:Supervise, mentor, and allocate daily tasks to a team of mechanical technicians and fitters.Enforce strict adherence to safety protocols, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), working in confined spaces, and heat-stress management.Spare Parts & Inventory Management:Identify, forecast, and manage critical spare parts inventory to ensure high availability without unnecessary capital tying.Review and approve technical specifications for purchasing new mechanical components.Continuous Improvement:Identify bottlenecks and propose engineering modifications to improve machinery efficiency, lifespan, and safety.Utilize Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) to track work orders, history, and key performance indicators (KPIs).
