Mechanical Maintenance Manager

Strategic Mechanical Asset Management: Establish and oversee the short-term and long-term mechanical maintenance strategy for all plant machinery, heavy utility equipment, and auxiliary systems.

Continuous Line Reliability Oversight: Direct preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance activities across critical rockwool production areas:

• Cupola Furnace & Charging System: Water-cooled jacket maintenance, charging skips, air blast blowers, and slag disposal systems.
• Fiberization & Curing Chamber: High-speed spinning machines, binder spray pumps, collection chamber pendulum belts, and curing oven chain drives.
• Cutting & Packaging Line: Longitudinal/transverse slitting saws, offline pipe-forming machines, roll facers, and hydraulic baling presses.
• Auxiliary Utilities: Industrial air compressors, cooling towers, heavy-duty dust extraction systems, and water treatment pumps.

Work Order & ERP Management: Oversee the mechanical maintenance module in Oracle EBS, reviewing work orders, equipment history logs, and maintenance cost analytics.

Major Overhauls & Shut Down Planning: Plan, coordinate, and execute major annual factory shutdowns, cupola re-bricking overhauls, and capital machinery installation projects.

Spare Parts & Procurement Coordination: Define technical specifications for mechanical spares, approve PRs for critical items, and coordinate with Purchase and Stores for vendor management.

EHS & Industrial Safety Leadership: Enforce strict industrial safety standards, conduct regular risk assessments for high-risk mechanical work (lifting, welding in confined spaces, furnace work), and conduct daily safety toolbox talks.
