• Develop preventive maintenance plans, criticality assessments, and spare parts strategies for new assets, partnering with operations and maintenance teams to ensure they are executable from day one.
• Own asset setup in Maximo or equivalent CMMS — ensuring new equipment enters the system with complete, accurate data including PM plans, criticality ratings, and spares linkage.
• Coordinate factory acceptance testing (FAT) and site acceptance testing (SAT) activities with vendors, design teams, and operations, tracking open items through closure.
• Build and maintain commissioning documentation, acceptance records, and asset introduction packages that give operations teams everything they need to sustain new equipment in service.
