• Monitor maintenance work orders end to end, from issue through final close-out, applying global standards and procedures for work execution and management.
• Coordinate with Warehouse and Inventory teams to ensure spare parts, materials and specialist tools are available to support scheduled and out-of-standard-hours maintenance activities.
• Supervise shift teams, resolve technical or safety queries and ensure effective handovers and clear communication between shifts and relevant stakeholders.
• Ensure assets are returned to operations in line with required integrity and safety standards, while maintaining the quality and history of maintenance work performed.
• Monitor maintenance and repair costs and KPIs, improve technician utilisation and hands-on tool time, and provide feedback on equipment repair strategies and shift resource effectiveness.

What We Are Looking For

• Continuous improvement mindset: we are looking for someone who brings a thoughtful improvement mindset—curious about how work gets done and motivated to make meaningful, sustainable improvements over time.
• Bring a minimum of 5 years’ experience in an operational shift-working environment, ideally with exposure to asset-intensive operations and complex planning, prioritisation and resource-management scenarios.
• Demonstrate an understanding of asset maintenance planning and scheduling principles, processes, requirements and metrics, with the ability to organise and deploy shift-working resources effectively.
• Apply strong discipline, quality awareness and work-management practices, ensuring actions, documentation and work-order records are properly completed and closed out.
• Communicate and collaborate effectively in a multicultural environment, with good written and verbal English and respect for employees, authorities and other stakeholders.
• Bring an understanding of maintenance software data systems and their interfaces; troubleshooting and PLC programming experience will be an advantage.
