Job Description and Responsibilities:
- Mechanical failure analysis and diagnostics: Analyze equipment malfunctions and diagnostic data to identify root causes of mechanical failures and determine appropriate corrective or remedial action. Apply engineering judgment to distinguish between component-level faults and systemic design or operational issues.
- Engineering diagnostics and performance evaluation: Use diagnostic tools and software to read fault codes, evaluate equipment performance parameters, and generate technical findings that inform repair decisions and operational planning for OCC's vehicles and agricultural machinery.
- Equipment condition assessment and reliability engineering: Conduct systematic inspections and condition monitoring of OCC's mechanical systems to assess operational readiness, identify emerging failure modes, and develop recommendations that reduce unplanned downtime and extend equipment service life.
- Preventive maintenance program development and oversight: Design, implement, and oversee a structured preventive maintenance program encompassing service scheduling, inspection protocols, and maintenance tracking systems for OCC's fleet and mechanical infrastructure.
- Maintenance records and reliability data management: Maintain detailed engineering records of maintenance activities, diagnostic findings, and equipment performance history to support reliability analysis, lifecycle planning, and continuous improvement of OCC's mechanical systems.
