Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Engineer / Senior Engineer to join our team specializing in the maintenance troubleshooting and continuous improvement of Special Purpose Machines (SPMs). The ideal candidate will be a hands-on problem solver with a strong technical background in mechanical electrical and automation systems. This role is critical to ensuring minimal downtime maximizing equipment reliability and supporting production goals through proactive and reactive maintenance activities.

Key Responsibilities

  • Troubleshooting and Breakdown Maintenance:
    • Diagnose and rectify complex mechanical electrical hydraulic and pneumatic faults on a variety of SPMs.
    • Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) to identify the source of machine failures and implement effective long-term countermeasures.
    • Respond promptly to breakdowns to minimize production downtime.
  • Preventive and Predictive Maintenance:
    • Execute and optimize planned preventive maintenance (PPM) schedules to ensure equipment operates at peak efficiency.
    • Utilize predictive maintenance techniques (e.g. vibration analysis thermal imaging) to anticipate potential failures.
    • Maintain detailed maintenance logs work orders and equipment history records using a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS).
  • Equipment Improvement and Upgrades:
    • Identify opportunities for equipment upgrades modifications and process improvements to enhance efficiency quality and safety.
    • Collaborate with the design and production teams to implement engineering changes and new equipment installations.
    • Lead or support projects for the retrofitting or commissioning of new SPMs.
  • Technical Expertise & Training:
    • Provide technical guidance and on-the-job training to junior engineers and maintenance technicians.
    • Develop and update Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and maintenance manuals.
    • Stay updated with the latest advancements in automation technology including PLC HMI and robotics.
  • Safety and Compliance:
    • Ensure all maintenance activities are conducted in strict accordance with safety protocols and company policies.
    • Promote a culture of safety and continuous improvement within the maintenance team.
    • Ensure all equipment and processes comply with relevant industry standards and regulations.

  • Technical Skills:
    • Proficiency in troubleshooting mechanical systems (e.g. gears shafts bearings ball screws).
    • Strong knowledge of hydraulic and pneumatic circuits and components.
    • Hands-on experience with industrial electrical systems including sensors actuators and motor drives.
    • Knowledge of PLC programming logic (e.g. Siemens Allen-Bradley Mitsubishi) and HMI systems is a must.
    • Familiarity with interpreting technical drawings schematics and P&IDs.

For Senior Engineer (8-12 Years of Experience):

  • Education: Bachelors degree in Mechanical Electrical Mechatronics or a related engineering discipline. A Masters degree is a plus.
  • Experience: 8-12 years of progressive experience in SPM maintenance and a proven track record of leading a team.
  • Technical Skills (In addition to Engineer requirements):
    • Expertise in Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and other problem-solving methodologies (e.g. 8D 5 Whys).
    • In-depth knowledge of predictive maintenance technologies and reliability engineering principles.
    • Experience in project management from concept to commissioning of new equipment.
    • Ability to act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for complex technical issues.
