About the Role
Join a dynamic team that is dedicated to empowering tomorrow, today! This role is based in Dubai, which serves as a strategic hub for our operations in the Middle East. You will develop and implement maintenance strategies for mechanical systems, driving continuous improvement and optimizing equipment reliability in a globally connected business environment.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and implement maintenance strategies for mechanical systems, including preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance approaches to ensure equipment reliability and production continuity.
• Drive equipment reliability improvement by analyzing downtime, MTBF, and MTTR, identifying mechanical failure modes, and implementing corrective and preventive actions to improve machine availability.
• Lead structured root cause analysis (RCA, A3, 5 Why) for mechanical failures across cam-controlled systems, injection molding equipment, and automated production lines, ensuring sustainable elimination of recurring issues.
• Utilize data-driven definitions and technical optimization of maintenance plans and standards, including inspection routines, lubrication strategies, wear part replacements, and overhaul intervals for mechanical components to ensure optimal functionality and minimum downtime.
• Own mechanical performance of critical advanced automated manufacturing equipment, including cam-controlled forming and assembly machines and plastic injection molding machines (mechanical systems, clamping units, cooling systems).
• Collaborate with production, toolmaking, and engineering teams to improve machine stability, cycle time consistency, and overall process performance.
• Define and deploy predictive maintenance approaches using equipment condition data, wear analysis, and failure trends to reduce unplanned downtime.
• Support equipment commissioning and industrialization activities, ensuring mechanical robustness, maintainability, and readiness for serial production.
• Drive continuous improvement of mechanical systems, focusing on reduction of breakdowns, improvement of equipment lifetime, and stabilization of manufacturing processes.
• Standardize maintenance processes and documentation to ensure consistent application of maintenance practices and technical guidelines across equipment.
• Provide technical support for complex mechanical issues, guiding maintenance technicians in troubleshooting without taking over execution activities.
• Collaborate with internal and external partners (toolmakers, engineers, OEMs) to resolve technical issues, implement improvements, and support equipment upgrades.
