Working closely with plant management and engineering teams, the Consultant will assess existing practices, identify reliability gaps and design practical systems, processes and schedules to improve equipment availability and reduce recurring breakdowns. The role will also provide technical guidance on major engineering and maintenance initiatives, introduce international best practices, and build the capability of the local maintenance and engineering teams.

The successful candidate should be comfortable operating in a consultative capacity, working with senior management while coaching local engineering and maintenance teams to implement sustainable improvements.
