Support preventive maintenance activities by ensuring required parts and materials are available before scheduled work begins. Use maintenance systems and computer applications, such as SAP or similar platforms, to create, track, and close work orders and manage maintenance documentation. Help maintain accurate inventory of critical spares, ensuring stock levels are appropriate and updated in the system. Assist with troubleshooting equipment issues by providing technical insight and coordinating necessary resources, even if not regularly performing hands-on repairs. Prepare and process purchase orders and related documentation in a timely and accurate manner. Communicate clearly with maintenance, operations, and other stakeholders to keep everyone informed on parts status, maintenance plans, and potential equipment risks.
