• Formulate shift work plans, prioritize maintenance tickets, and complete detailed logbook handovers before finishing a shift.
• Track shift technicians' performance and lead technical training sessions to resolve on-site machine faults.
• Check spare parts stock levels and partner with the Maintenance Planner to order replacement components.
• Maintain all specialized tools, high-voltage test equipment, and active working zones in clean, safe condition.

2. High-Precision Electrical Diagnostics, Calibration & Modifications

• Monitor and evaluate the daily operating conditions of high-speed packaging and processing equipment.
• Oversee and perform inspections, cleanings, and maintenance tasks on industrial electric motors, MCCR panels, exhaust fans, and air filters.
• Manage, read, and interpret complex machine electrical blueprints and schematics to handle rewiring and parameter setups.
• Run technical equipment calibrations, coordinate machine modifications, and resolve outstanding work orders or safety tags.
• Actively support the installation, wiring, and testing of new plant machinery.

3. Industrial Safety, Defect Escalation & Quality Control

• Apply modern fault-finding methods and conduct strict Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) to stop recurring breakdowns.
• Execute full Lockout-Tagout (LOTO) safety isolation steps on equipment before letting teams begin repairs.
• Maintain machine reliability to minimize waste, boost efficiency, and hit daily production outputs.
• Flag and report any operational defects or equipment non-conformance to the Packaging Engineer following plant escalation rules.
