• Use SAP and digital tools to document operational data, initiate maintenance work orders, and keep detailed, accurate records.
• Collaborate closely with other operations and maintenance teams to ensure safe, reliable and continuous plant performance.
• Conduct regular equipment inspections, contribute to reliability-centered maintenance planning, and proactively identify improvement opportunities.
• Maintain a strong safety culture, following lockout/tagout procedures, permitting requirements, and environmental controls.
• Uphold and reinforce operating discipline through the consistent application of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Work Instructions and Lockout Protocols.
