ROLE SUMMARY

Own the health and availability of every machine and utility in the factory. Keep the plant running beam saws, edge banders, CNC, and all supporting utilities by driving preventive and predictive maintenance, fast breakdown recovery, and disciplined spares management, so production never stops for want of a working machine.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Machine uptime: own overall equipment availability across all units; minimise unplanned breakdown downtime and drive uptime to target.
• Preventive maintenance: build and enforce the PM calendar for every machine (beam saw, edge banding, CNC, drilling, pressing, dust extraction); no PM slippage.
• Breakdown response: run a fast, structured breakdown-response system; line incharges elevate to Maintenance and expect rapid recovery with root-cause capture.
• Predictive & condition monitoring: introduce condition-based checks (vibration, thermal, wear) on critical machines to catch failures before they happen.
• Spares management: define and stock critical spares; maintain min-max levels and a clean spares register; eliminate downtime waiting for parts.
• OEM / AMC vendor management: manage OEM and AMC contracts for imported and local machinery; hold vendors to service SLAs.
• Utilities: ensure reliable compressed air, power, and dust-extraction; manage DG / power back-up and energy efficiency.
• Safety & compliance: enforce electrical and machine safety, LOTO, and statutory compliance (Karnataka OSH); zero maintenance-related safety incidents.
• CAPEX & upgrades: provide technical inputs on machine replacement, capacity upgrades, and new-machine commissioning.
• Team & cost: lead, roster, and skill the technician team; control the maintenance budget without compromising uptime.

SKILLS & REQUIREMENTS

• Qualification: Diploma / B.E. in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
• Experience: 1015 years in plant maintenance, ideally in modular furniture / panel / woodworking or process manufacturing, with hands-on exposure to Homag / Biesse / SCM / IMA-class machinery.
• Technical: strong on mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and PLC-based systems; preventive/predictive maintenance methods; spares planning.
• Leadership: has run a multi-technician team across shifts; can build systems and discipline, not just react to breakdowns.
• Behavioural: ownership mindset, cost-conscious, safety-first, calm under breakdown pressure.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

• Measured on: Machine uptime / availability %
• MTBF (mean time between failures) and MTTR (mean time to repair)
• Unplanned breakdown downtime (hours)
• PM schedule adherence %
• Critical spares availability %
• Maintenance cost vs budget
• Maintenance-related safety incidents (target: zero)
