- Malta Island
- Permanent
- Full-time
- Own OEE governance across focus lines: define loss-tree, daily/weekly reviews, and action tracking for Availability, Performance, and Quality losses.
- Deep‑dive chronic losses; develop and sustain countermeasures using RCA (5‑Why, Fishbone), A3, and verification of effectiveness.
- Partner with Production to optimize run strategies (speeds, changeovers, start‑up/shut‑down standards, SMED).
- Lead TPM pillar execution with emphasis on Autonomous Maintenance (AM), Planned Maintenance (PM), Focused Improvement (FI), and Early Management.
- Build and sustain AM checks, operator care standards, centerlines, tagging & escalation, and abnormality management.
- Drive PM compliance, CBM/PdM (vibration, thermography, oil analysis), and continuous PM optimization (intervals, scopes).
- Develop asset criticality ranking; set maintenance strategies (RCM‑based) per asset class.
- Maintain asset hierarchies, BoMs, and equipment histories in CMMS; enforce data discipline.
- Lead FMEA and spares strategy (min/max, critical spares, obsolescence plans) with Purchasing and Stores.
- Define and manage reliability KPIs (MTBF, MTTR, failure rate, maintenance cost/throughput).
- Serve as the single point of contact for asset availability and constraints for the Planning team.
- Coordinate maintenance windows with minimal impact to production; align on capacity assumptions and ramp‑up curves after interventions.
- Facilitate daily/weekly cross‑functional meetings; track actions to closure.
- Ensure maintenance procedures, LOTO, permits, and SOPs are current and followed.
- Support internal/external audits and regulatory compliance; maintain complete records.
- Champion risk assessments and reliability‑driven safety improvements (e.g., guarding integrity, energy isolation quality).
- Run kaizen events targeting losses (breakdowns, speed, minor stops, changeovers, start‑up rejects).
- Coach operators and technicians in TPM, RCA, Condition Monitoring, and data literacy.
- Partner with Engineering on Early Equipment Management: reliability criteria for new equipment, FAT/SAT standards, and vertical start‑up.
- Manage vendor performance for service quality and reliability outcomes; define SLAs tied to MTBF/uptime.
- Contribute to the maintenance and reliability budget, cost control, and reliability‑based CAPEX justifications.
- To always act and behave in a way compliant with all De La Rue company guidelines and policies, especially those relating to Environmental Health and Safety, ethics and codes of conduct
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, or related);
- Experience in reliability, maintenance engineering, or production engineering within manufacturing/industrial environments.
- Demonstrated TPM/OEE leadership with measurable improvements.
- Hands‑on experience with CMMS (e.g., Agility) and strong data analysis skills (Excel/Power BI).
- Proficiency in Root Cause Analysis, FMEA, Reliability Centered Maintenance, and maintenance strategy optimization.
