The Mechanical Inspector's primary objective is to coordinate and control execution of inspections, analyze all process and auxiliary equipment so that the condition of each piece of equipment can be monitored and maintained at a high level of operating performance.
What will you be doing?
Communicate regularly with operations personnel to gain information on any problems or concerns they may have about the equipment and the way it is affecting the process.
Analyze situations to determine whether it is a mechanical, electrical or operating problem and recommend solutions to utilize all resources available correctly.
Study equipment problems and recommend modifications or replacements of it.
Investigates repetitive problems and initiates corrective maintenance procedures.
Continually inform the Production, Process and Maintenance teams of the operating condition of equipment and advises those responsible when a piece of equipment should be shutdown in order to prevent damage to said equipment or injury to any of the plant personnel.
Coordinates all Preventive and Predictive Maintenance Inspections performed on plant equipment.
Ensure compliance with safety practices and procedures, availability of safety equipment and that first aid treatment is provided when required.
Ensure that there has been a work order entered in CMMS to cover adjustments or repairs to equipment, checks for the proper equipment number, adequate description of the request, appropriate priority code and workshop or plant code.
Assist in the planning of systematic overhauls of major equipment.
Systematic inspection and data recording of all plant equipment with follow up to appropriate people.
Carry out specific and precision duties as drive alignment, open gear inspection as checking of root clearances, wobble, eccentricity checks, institute balancing of new installation monitoring stop checks on bearings, basic NDT inspections.
Prepare daily work schedule for the PMR tasks in accordance with equipment needs while utilizing CMMS to document and monitor equipment history files.
Record all temperatures, pressures and any relevant information, which may be used for analysis from CCR.
The incumbent is also the plant person in charge of the mechanical integrity of the plant's machinery.
The incumbent is responsible and should have data pertaining to reliability so that he can analyze, and advise departments on the information needed to perform RCFA (i.e. vibrations, temperatures, hours, causes, Pareto charts etc.).
Ensure regular participation and engagement of the team for RCA/RCM process as and when required for assign machines performs other duties such as maintaining work records and maintenance repair history logs, attending regular meetings with maintenance engineers.
Participate in the Maintenance Supervisor On-Call Program.
