Lead Mechanic

 Description

To serve as the top engineering authority on the UMS workshop floor, converting advanced theoretical diagnostics into practical repair methods for highly complex plant machinery and heavy equipment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA): Investigate highly intricate, critical, or chronic machinery breakdowns that exceed standard mechanic diagnostic tools. Apply advanced scientific failure methods to isolate environmental, metallurgical, or operational root causes.

• SOP Authoring & Engineering Design: Write and publish technical Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for complicated equipment rebuilds, system overhauls, and preventative tracking lines, ensuring workshop mechanics operate safely and according to OEM regulations.

• Workshop Instrumentation & Tool Asset Oversight: Review structural diagnostic scanners, calibration machines, electronic sensors, and custom hydraulic press fixtures on the service floor. Author investment justification proposals for tool upgrades.

• Technical Reporting & Insurance Declarations: Draft highly detailed, objective technical failure analysis declarations for validation by customer corporate insurance adjusters or manufacturing warranty panels regarding major product failures.

• Technical Team Mentorship & Training: Provide technical lectures, schematics deep-dives, and hands-on instructional support to the Technicians and Mechanics, improving the overall engineering capacity of the service floor.

Minimum Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering

• 3+ years of post-qualification field experience analyzing industrial plant equipment, earthmoving machinery, or commercial heavy fleets.

• Fluid dynamics, pneumatic/hydraulic schematic design, technical report composition; advanced critical deduction, systematic problem isolation, and instructive communication.
