Equipment Troubleshooting and Support: Serve as the escalation point for complex equipment issues. Diagnose root causes, coordinate repairs, and work with vendors and OEMs to resolve problems quickly. Maintain relationships with key equipment suppliers and service providers.
Inspection and Compliance: Manage the inspection cycle for all major equipment. Ensure equipment meets safety, regulatory, and operational standards. Maintain inspection records and ensure the site is always audit-ready from an equipment compliance standpoint.
Training Program Support: Support the development and delivery of training plans for all major equipment. Ensure operators and technicians across all business lines are properly trained and qualified on shared equipment. Maintain training records and identify gaps as new equipment or personnel are introduced.
SOP Development and Standardization: Own the creation and continuous improvement of SOPs for major equipment operation, maintenance, and changeover across the site. Establish a consistent documentation format and revision process, drive cross-team adoption, and ensure SOPs are kept current as equipment, processes, and personnel change. Partner with production and quality teams to close gaps where undocumented tribal knowledge creates risk.
Continuous Improvement: Analyze equipment performance data, downtime trends, and maintenance costs to identify improvement opportunities. Recommend and implement changes that improve equipment reliability, reduce unplanned downtime, and extend asset life.
