Responsibilities:
Carry out preventive maintenance (PM) tasks on blow moulding machines (CMP 0.5L to Jagmohan 100L) as directed by the Expat Engineer, following prescribed schedules, checklists, and plant procedures.
Assist in breakdown diagnosis and execute corrective maintenance actions under instruction from the Expat Engineer; escalate faults promptly and accurately when beyond the scope of assigned tasks.
Perform routine servicing on hydraulic and pneumatic systems oil level checks, filter changes, seal replacements, solenoid valve cleaning, air line maintenance, and report abnormalities to the supervising engineer.
Maintain and service automated deflashing systems checking mechanical alignment, pneumatic actuators, and trimming blades — under the direction of the Expat Engineer; report deflash quality issues immediately.
Carry out electrical maintenance tasks, including sensor replacements, heater band changes, thermocouple replacements, proximity switch adjustments, and control panel cleaning as directed; avoid unauthorised access to PLC or drive configurations.
Service and maintain auxiliary equipment, including air compressors, chiller systems, convey or belts, cooling water circuits, and material handling systems under the direction of the Expat Engineer.
Support size/mould change-over activities  carrying out physical mould handling, blow pin changes, water line connections, and die gap pre-setting — working as part of the change-over team under expat supervision.
Monitor assigned machines during production for early signs of parison variation, flash abnormalities, or mechanical faults; report immediately to the Expat Engineer rather than attempting unsanctioned adjustments.
Maintain accurate and timely maintenance records for all assigned tasks, including PM completion, parts consumed, breakdown details, and corrective actions; submit records within the same shift.\ Ensure all maintenance activities comply with SACVIN safety standards, ISO 45001 requirements, and plant operating procedures; use appropriate PPE at all times on the production floor.
Requirements:
OND  in Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronics Engineering.
Minimum 5 years of hands-on maintenance experience in a plastic blow moulding environment.
Practical knowledge of blow moulding hydraulic and pneumatic systems: cylinders, valves, seals, accumulators, and air circuits.
Practical experience with automated deflashing systems  mechanical, pneumatic, or servo-driven, and the ability to carry out alignment and blade/tooling changes.
Familiarity with electrical maintenance tasks: heater bands, thermocouples, proximity sensors, solenoid valves, and basic panel work.
Understanding of PP and HDPE material behaviour in blow moulding flash formation, cooling, and shrinkage — sufficient to identify product quality issues and report accurately Ability to follow technical instructions, maintenance checklists, and PM schedules accurately and consistently.
Familiarity with auxiliary equipment: air compressors, chillers, conveyors, and cooling water circuits.
Physical fitness for machine maintenance tasks, including mould handling, working at height, and operating in a production floor environment.
Good spoken and written English for reporting, maintenance log entries, and communication with the supervising Expat Engineer Disciplined, safety-conscious, and able to work effectively within a supervised team and 4- person shift structure.
