You as our Global Maintenance Manager will be responsible for owning, coordinating and driving SRT's global maintenance and servicing strategy, ensuring that deployed systems are maintained proactively throughout their operational lifecycle.
Based overseas, the role will provide a central point of ownership for the planning, scheduling, coordination and oversight of preventative and corrective maintenance activities across SRT's deployed systems.
Role Overview of our Global Maintenance Manager
