• Reliability Improvement: Establish, execute, and improve predictive and preventive maintenance (PPM) programs to increase plant reliability and minimize unplanned downtime.
• Calibration Management: Oversee the calibration schedules and execution for all process instruments, including temperature controllers, melt pressure transducers, weight sensors, and humidity probes.
• Utilities & Facilities: Ensure the reliable operation and electrical maintenance of critical utility equipment supporting the compounding process, such as water chillers, cooling towers, air compressors, and dust collection/exhaust systems.

3. Inventory & Team Collaboration

• Spare Parts Management: Maintain and monitor inventory levels for critical E&I materials, specialized spare parts, and calibration equipment with high responsibility and integrity.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Production Supervisors and external vendors to execute equipment upgrades, capacity expansions, or optimization projects.

Requirements

• Education: Degree or Diploma in Electrical, Electronic, Mechatronics, or Instrument & Control Engineering.
• Experience: Minimum 2–3 years of relevant E&I engineering experience in a manufacturing plant environment (Direct experience in plastic compounding, polymer processing, chemical, or petrochemical industries is highly advantageous).

Technical Skills:

• Strong familiarity with PLCs, DCS, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and industrial automation networks.
• Proficiency in reading electrical schematics, P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams), and instrument loop drawings.

Soft Skills: Effective communication and presentation skills, resourceful, earnest, a strong team player, and able to work independently with minimal supervision.
