• Take initiative in escalations to get supplier expertise involved in-time, keeping stakeholders updated.
• Postmortem analysis, initiating structural solutions to prevent re-occurrence.
• Ensure the correct stock of all necessary parts with the aim of having all necessary parts available on time, so that maintenance can be planned efficiently, and breakdowns/repairs take as little time as possible.
• Create & maintain work instructions for First-line recovery and give knowledge transfers to colleagues for both Equipment Support and Process Technicians.
• Observe day to day execution and performance of the equipment and initiate improvements (measured in Uptime, MTTR, and MTBF).
