Job description

Utility Plant Operations: Supervise and monitor continuous operations of critical clean and black utilities, including Purified Water (PW), Water for Injection (WFI), Pure Steam (PS), Oil-Free Compressed Air, Nitrogen, Chilled Water, and HVAC systems.

Generation & Loop Monitoring: Track generation efficiency, storage levels, and distribution loop parameters (flow velocity, pressure, conductivity, TOC, temperature) to maintain continuous supply to processing bays.

BMS & SCADA Monitoring: Operate and monitor Building Management Systems (BMS) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) networks, responding promptly to system alarms, temperature/humidity deviations, or pressure cascade drops.

BMR & Utility Logbook Maintenance: Complete real-time entries in utility logbooks, daily generation logs, and sanitization execution sheets in full compliance with ALCOA+ data integrity standards.

System Sanitization Execution: Lead and document routine thermal/chemical sanitization cycles for PW/WFI generation units, storage tanks, distribution loops, and Pure Steam generators per approved schedules.

Preventive Maintenance (PM): Execute scheduled preventive maintenance for utility machinery (boilers, chillers, air compressors, pumps, water treatment plants) and troubleshoot mechanical breakdown issues.

QMS & Out-of-Specification Support: Initiate initial reports for utility-related deviations, support Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for water/air system failures, and execute assigned CAPA actions.

Audit Preparedness: Maintain utility logbooks, BMS trend charts, filter integrity test records, and water generation files in a continuous state of readiness for regulatory audits (USFDA, EU Annex 1, WHO).

Vendor & Service Management: Supervise third-party service contractors and OEMs during specialized overhauls, water system validations, boiler inspections, and preventive servicing.

EHS & Energy Optimization: Enforce strict plant EHS guidelines, permit-to-work systems (hot work, confined space), pressure vessel safety protocols, and participate in plant-wide energy/water conservation initiatives.
