Engineering Press Specialist

Summary

Maintains and improves high-speed metal stamping presses and tooling to ensure production quality, reliability, and safety in a manufacturing facility.

Key responsibilities

· Provide engineering support for mechanicalpress, POE/EOE and related end-making operations to maintain consistent output,product quality and low spoilage.

· Work closely with Production, Tool Room, DieMaintenance, Stamping, Electrical and Quality teams to keep production linesoperating safely and reliably.

· Plan, lead and improve preventive and predictivemaintenance programmes for presses, tooling and associated productionequipment.

· Diagnose and resolve mechanical, tooling,pneumatic, hydraulic, lubrication, feeding and material-handling problems usinga structured troubleshooting approach.

· Lead root-cause analysis and follow-up actionsfor breakdowns, production losses, defects, waste and customer-quality issues.

· Monitor and improve OEE, equipment reliability,MTBF, MTTR, changeover performance, material usage and maintenance cost.

· Support tooling and die-set design reviews,maintenance, regeneration, life monitoring and readiness for new and existingproducts.

· Support new-equipment installation andcommissioning, machine upgrades, capital projects and production-lineimprovement projects.

· Study processes and operations to recommendbetter use of materials, equipment, manpower and other manufacturing resources.

· Prepare and maintain SOPs, work instructions,maintenance plans, troubleshooting guides, technical reports and equipmentrecords.

· Coach and train technicians, operators and otherproduction personnel in machine setup, troubleshooting, maintenance and safework practices.

· Manage critical spare-parts and toolingrequirements and support procurement planning to reduce unplanned downtime andtotal maintenance cost.
