WHAT YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IN THIS ROLE

An Autonomous Maintenance Operator plays a vital, hands-on role in ensuring that an organization's machinery and equipment operate at peak efficiency and are consistently being enhanced. This position blends the technical expertise of a traditional machine technician with the principles of continuous improvement methodologies to drive productivity, improve quality, reduce waste, and increase safety.

The core of their responsibility is to move beyond reactive repairs and embrace a proactive approach to machine maintenance and optimization. They are the frontline implementers of Cl principles directly on the production floor.

This practice reduces unplanned downtime, increases equipment reliability, improves product quality, and builds operator ownership of the production process. By integrating operation, maintenance, and quality checks, the role strengthens the link between productivity and continuous improvement.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Proactive and Preventive Maintenance : A primary focus is on preventing equipment failures before they happen. This involves executing scheduled preventive maintenance tasks, as well as utilizing predictive maintenance techniques to anticipate and address potential issues, thereby minimizing unplanned downtime.

T roubleshooting and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) : When a breakdown occurs, a Cl Machine Technician's role extends beyond simply fixing the immediate issue. They are tasked with investigating the fundamental cause of the problem using methodologies like the "5 Whys." This ensures that corrective actions are implemented to prevent the same failure from recurring.
