  • Lead shutdown planning to minimise production disruption and deliver activities within budget

  • Manage spare parts and inventory to ensure availability while optimising working capital

  • Coordinate and supervise contractors to ensure all site activities meet safety, technical, and quality standards

  • Proactively identify improvements to maintenance methodologies, reliability strategies, and CMMS reporting
