You will participate in the analysis and resolution of technical disturbances to minimize downtime and improve equipment performance. Furthermore, you will drive and implement improvement initiatives and be responsible for correct reporting and documentation.

You will handle quality deviations by understanding quality standards and making correct decisions to ensure that quality requirements are met. Collaboration with colleagues and maintaining order in the workplace is also an important part of your role. Additionally, you will contribute to training and support for operator maintenance and participate in the planning of preventive maintenance (PM).

You will ensure that standards, such as back-up, are current and followed. You will also visualize the team’s production results, such as RTM/QDFIPS, and work proactively with risk management and document deviations in TIA.
