Job description

1. Routine Walk-down Inspection & Meter Logging

Plant-wide Systematic Patrols: Perform comprehensive inspection rounds across all utility areas at least once per shift, accurately recording system parameters on the Plant Operation Patrol Record Form:

Power Distribution: Inspect MV/LV switchgear rooms for current, voltage, kWh meter readings, room air conditioning, flood/water leakage risks, and signs of pest/rodent entry.

HVAC & Chiller Plant: Check MAU/AHU differential pressures, VFD operating frequencies, humidification systems, coil inlet/outlet water temperatures, and chiller loading conditions.

Water & Gas Systems: Inspect tank levels, outlet pressures, and conductivities for raw, RO, and pure water skids; monitor scrubber liquid circulation pump pressures, pH readings, and exhaust fan operations on the rooftop.

Utility Consumption Meter Reading: Log municipal water main meter readings, TNB main electrical meters, and sub-station power meters on a daily and monthly basis.

2. FMCS Central Monitoring & Emergency Response

Central Control Room Watch: Monitor the Facility Management Control System (FMCS/SCADA) continuously. Strictly refrain from muting or modifying audible alarm levels without approval; perform audible alarm functional checks during every shift handover. Archive shift monitoring curves and trend screenshots into the designated shared drive.

Hotline & Helpdesk Response: Attend to the 24-hour facility repair helpline, immediately logging and dispatching personnel to attend to production cleanroom utility alarms (e.g., temperature/humidity swings, low air pressure), filling out the FAC Repair Record Form.

First-line Fault Containment: Promptly execute initial emergency measures for equipment trips (e.g., auto/manual changeover to standby units, reset and restart). In severe cases, isolate hazardous utility lines to prevent incident escalation, report immediately to the Shift Leader and On-call Engineer, and document the root causes on the Operation Abnormality Record Form.

Job Requirements

Education: Certificate, SKM, or Diploma in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration (HVAC), or related technical fields.

1-3 years of direct shift operations or maintenance experience in electronics, semiconductor, solar, harmaceutical, or cleanroom manufacturing plant utilities.

Fresh technical graduates with high discipline and technical aptitude will also be considered.

Familiarity with the working mechanisms of chillers, air compressors, pumps, vacuum skids, and electrical switchgear.

Ability to read standard mechanical pressure gauges, digital controllers,and electrical meters accurately.

Holding an Energy Commission (Suruhanjaya Tenaga - ST) Chargeman Certification (B0, A0, or A1) is an added advantage.
