**Job Description:**
The Maintenance Engineer will play a crucial role in ensuring the reliability and availability of equipment by managing technical aspects of Spare Parts and MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) inventory.
This role bridges engineering expertise with supply chain efficiency to support proactive maintenance strategies, reduce downtime, and optimize asset performance.
* Work with engineers to identify, classify, and catalogue spare parts based on equipment specifications.
* Maintain accurate Preventative Maintenance (PM) BOMs and ensure alignment with PM schedules.
* Evaluate part interchangeability and obsolescence risks.
* Collaborate with maintenance and reliability engineers to define critical spares and min/max levels.
* Analyse equipment failure data to recommend spare part stocking strategies.
* Support root cause analysis (RCA) and implement corrective actions involving parts and materials.
* Provide technical specifications for procurement of parts and materials.
* Evaluate supplier technical documentation and ensure compliance with engineering standards.
* Utilize CMMS/ERP systems (Maximo/Oracle) to manage part records and maintenance history (track inventory, work orders, and part usage).
* Develop and maintain engineering databases for spare parts standardization and optimization.
* Generate technical reports on inventory performance, usage trends, and cost analysis.
* Lead initiatives to standardize parts across equipment and reduce inventory complexity.
* Implement engineering best practices for MRO inventory control and lifecycle management.
* Contribute to digital transformation projects such as predictive maintenance and IoT integration.
