Main activities:

• Ensures full compliance with QHSSE rules, Permit to Work (PTW), and site operating procedures during all maintenance activities.
• Organises, plans, and supervises maintenance and troubleshooting activities on turbine-driven equipment (turbo-generators and turbo-compressors) and associated auxiliary systems.
• Provides technical support to the preparation and planning team for maintenance activities, including scope definition, resource requirements, and intervention strategies.
• Leads field teams during interventions, ensuring adherence to procedures, quality standards, and operational priorities.
• Takes full ownership of turbine systems under his responsibility in case of breakdown, ensuring rapid fault diagnosis, resolution, and restoration to normal operating conditions with minimal production impact.
• Manages and ensures availability, control, and proper use of specialised tools and equipment required for turbine maintenance.
• Prepares and validates detailed technical reports, including intervention feedback, failure analysis, and recommendations.
• Identifies recurrent failures, performs root cause analysis (RCA), and proposes corrective and preventive actions to improve reliability and availability.
• Interfaces with Operations, Electrical, and Instrumentation teams to ensure integrated system performance and safe restart of equipment.
• Contributes to achieving technical and maintenance KPIs, including equipment availability, reliability, and reduction of unplanned shutdowns.

Specific activities

• Ensure that the transfer of knowledge by mentoring occurs
  properly within his teams, and actively participates in the OJT /
  assessment program.
