You'll develop and coordinate preventative maintenance programmes across a range of utility systems including boilers, water treatment equipment, cooling water systems, compressed air systems, vacuum pumps, HVAC systems, sprinkler systems, and regenerative thermal oxidisers (RTOs). Through routine inspections, contractor management, and condition monitoring activities, you'll ensure all systems are maintained in line with OEM recommendations and industry best practices. The role also plays an important part in Crown's sustainability and continuous improvement ambitions. You'll monitor energy consumption across key equipment, conduct air leak surveys, identify opportunities for efficiency improvements, and support the implementation of energy-saving initiatives across the site.
Working closely with production teams, CPOs, and maintenance engineers, you'll provide support during breakdowns and planned maintenance activities while ensuring full compliance with health, safety, environmental, and permit-to-work requirements. You'll also support equipment trials, installations, commissioning projects, and work flexibly across the operation to help deliver maximum production output and quality.
