• To assist the maintenance supervisor in sourcing, specifying and implementing material and service purchases specifically related to mechanical and operational activities.
• Plays an active role in initiating, implementing and maintaining mechanical and instrumentation related improvement projects and ideas.

Administrative functions

• To play an administrative role in managing specific projects/contractors related to mechanical and instrumentation works.
• To implement any special task given by the maintenance supervisor

Ensure that the preventive maintenance of the equipment comply with the HACCP requirements by following all the applicable GMP's and SOP's.

• Conducts preventive maintenance on all equipment to ensure that they are operating as designed and does not
• pose contamination risk to products and ingredients.
• Ensures that all chemicals, lubricants and equipment purchase does not pose contamination risk to products
• and ingredients.
• Ensures that all equipment is being calibrated and inspected for accuracy as designed, to ensure that they
• operating as designed and does not pose contamination risk to products and ingredients.
