• Team Leadership: Supervise the maintenance team and provide hands-on training on best practices for equipment reliability and troubleshooting.
• Absolute Compliance: Ensure all maintenance activities adhere strictly to DOSH statutory requirements and align with food safety and quality standard procedures.
