• Operate basic machine tools including grinding machines, air-driven drills, and impact wrenches.
• Participate in routine monitoring of major machinery to identify developing mechanical problems.
• Support vibration analysis and physical equipment checks as part of machinery condition monitoring.
• Report unusual vibration, noise, temperature, leakage, or other indicators of equipment deterioration.
• Prepare dimensional records following repair, assembly, or alignment work.
• Document pump alignment, pipework measurements, equipment clearances, and other completed maintenance data.
• Inspect completed work before equipment is returned to operation.
• Maintain accurate maintenance reports and simple data sheets showing work performed.
• Keep plant work areas clean, orderly, and free from unnecessary maintenance hazards.
• Follow applicable Technical and Operational Integrity requirements under AIRMS.
• Apply safe mechanical maintenance practices during dismantling, lifting, assembly, alignment, testing, and equipment reinstatement.
• Protect personal safety and the safety of colleagues by complying with applicable HSE requirements.
• Intervene immediately where unsafe work or non-compliance is observed.
• Stop unsafe activities where necessary and report the situation regardless of the position of the personnel involved.
• Support maintenance teams during plant shutdowns, major overhauls, and equipment restoration activities when required.
