Compliance/quality engineering – recording and investigation of deviations on utility plant and equipment
Carry out planned preventive, predictive and corrective maintenance as required
Ensure PMs are completed on time
Enter all details on the CMMS system
Develop PMs and Job Plans as well as SOPs for plant equipment.
Liaising with site planner re stores to identify spare part requirements;
Review maintenance programme periodically to ensure optimal uptime levels are achieved
Support and comply with all Safety procedures
Support the Site engineer & HV Engineer in carrying out Root Cause Analysis on plant failures to determine the sequence of events, the underlying root cause and assist the in developing proposals to remedy the fault;
Assist the Site Engineer & HV Engineer in planning and executing complex utility service isolations for maintenance, projects and client works;
Identify, develop and, if approved, implement Continuous Improvement measures to improve the efficiency of plant and working practices;
Seek to continuously improve knowledge and understanding of complex mechanical systems
Conduct routine maintenance and overhauls on gas engines or turbines, including oil and filter changes, belt and coupling inspections, and vibration checks.
Maintain fuel systems, lube-oil circuits, pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, cooling towers, and auxiliary equipment.
Monitor and maintain exhaust, ventilation, and acoustic systems.
Perform mechanical fault diagnosis, component replacement, and alignment work.
Carry out condition monitoring — vibration analysis, oil sampling, thermography.
Maintain and service HVAC and cooling systems for control rooms and generator enclosures.
Operate within strict safety and permit-to-work systems, adhering to confined-space, hot-work, and pressure-system protocols.
Keep detailed maintenance records, assist with audits, and support environmental and emissions reporting.
Work closely with electrical, controls, and operations teams during start-ups, shutdowns, and testing.
