  • Keep accurate maintenance records, permit, and audit trails.

Data Management & Automation Integration

  • Use CMMS (e.g., Maximo, SAP PM) and analytics platforms (PI, PowerBI) for condition‑monitoring, KPI reporting, and predictive analytics.
  • Collaborate with control‑system engineers to refine alarm strategies and set‑point optimization.

Technical Support & Troubleshooting

  • Provide expert troubleshooting for mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation issues across both plants.
