5

Ensure uninterrupted power supply to high-speed production, processing, packaging, and critical utility installations (industrial refrigeration, HVAC, boilers, ETP/STP).

6

Lead root cause analysis (RCA) for major electrical breakdowns and implement reliability engineering initiatives to enhance MTBF and reduce MTTR.

7

Maintain and troubleshoot electrical systems linked to process automation, PLCs, SCADA, HMIs, and industrial control systems.

8

Plan and execute electrical installation, commissioning, and CAPEX expansion projects in alignment with approved engineering standards and budgets.

9

Review technical specifications, BOQs, layout drawings, and contractor proposals for operational suitability and technical compliance.

10

Enforce electrical safety procedures, LOTO, PTW, and statutory requirements, ensuring strict compliance with food safety, GMP, and hygiene standards in wet/washdown processing areas.

11

Manage departmental budgets, optimizing spare parts inventory and contractor/OEM service costs without compromising reliability.

12

Lead, train, and develop the electrical maintenance team, establishing and tracking KPIs for breakdown hours, energy consumption, and PM compliance.
