D. Machine Alignment & Reliability
- Ensure proper alignment of shafts, rollers, bearings, gearboxes and couplings.
- Check belt and chain tension and correct as required.
- Monitor vibration, temperature and other indications of mechanical problems.
- Identify recurring failures and recommend corrective actions to the Maintenance Head.
- Support initiatives to improve machine reliability and reduce breakdown frequency.
E. Spare Parts & Tools
- Identify required mechanical spare parts during maintenance and breakdowns.
- Inform the Maintenance Head about critical spare requirements.
- Maintain proper use and safe custody of maintenance tools and equipment.
- Assist in maintaining minimum stock levels of critical mechanical spares.
F. Safety & Housekeeping
- Follow all company safety rules, PPE requirements and safe work practices.
- Follow proper Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures before working on machinery.
- Ensure the machine is isolated and safe before starting maintenance work.
- Maintain good housekeeping in the maintenance and production areas.
- Immediately report unsafe conditions, major defects or potential hazards to the supervisor.
- Follow company procedures related to fire, emergency and workplace safety.
