- Monitor work progress against project schedules and report any delays or resource issues observed in the field.
- Assist in the collection and entry of technical data for maintenance plans, asset records, and operational documentation.
- Support the setup of PM (Preventive Maintenance) templates and maintenance plans where required.
- Collaborate closely with BU/CU engineers, electrical engineers, and other stakeholders (e.g. Users) ensuring seamless operation and functionality.
Operation Phase (Primary Role):
- Perform troubleshooting and resolve HVAC equipment issues to minimize downtime and ensure smooth production.
- Monitor system performance through routine trending and data analysis to ensure environmental conditions consistently meet cleanroom requirements or equipment acceptance criteria.
- Execute routine inspections, perform preventive maintenance, and verify equipment performance to ensure compliance and reliability.
- Ensure scheduled maintenance work orders are completed timely.
- Contribute to optimization initiatives to improve on energy efficiency, system reliability, and sustainability.
- Utilize the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS, e.g., Maximo) to update and maintain accurate job records, maintenance history, calibration certificates, work orders, and generate reports.
- Assist in developing and continuously improving preventive maintenance SOPs and work instructions and training materials related to HVAC system operation and maintenance.
- Assist in developing safety risk assessments and method statements related to HVAC systems.
- Complete all required technical training to enhance skills and competencies.
- Inspect and verify the quality and condition of incoming spare parts and maintenance tools before use.
- Provide mentorship and training to junior technicians on operational procedures and troubleshooting best practices.
- Ensure adherence to GMP, safety, and quality standards in all operational activities.
- Participate in change control processes, root cause analysis, and incident investigations related to equipment and process deviations.
- Partner with Engineering, Manufacturing, and QA teams to ensure maintenance and operation of HVAC systems are aligned with production needs, safety requirements, and environmental monitoring strategies.
- Perform additional duties assigned by the HVAC Engineers to ensure maintenance and production continuity.
Requirement :
- Education: Diploma or Higher Nitec in Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, or related technical discipline.
- Experience: 3- 5 years in pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, or cleanroom-regulated industries. Strong mechanical and electrical troubleshooting skills. GMP experience and validation knowledge preferred. Exposure to greenfield projects is an advantage.
- Technical Skills:
- Hands-on experience with CMMS (e.g., Maximo).
- Proficient in Microsoft Office; knowledge of planning tools (e.g., MS Project) is a plus.
- Expertise in HVAC commissioning, qualification, and lifecycle management under GMP.
- Solid understanding of HVAC systems for controlled environments, refrigeration, and clean air devices.
- Ability to interpret P&ID diagrams, Air Flow Diagrams, and Sequence of Operation documents.
- Skilled in system walkdowns, inspections, maintenance, and repair of HVAC equipment.
- Certifications: Safety certifications (e.g., Work at Height, Confined Space, Risk Management) preferred.
- Soft Skills: Strong communication and interpersonal skills, proactive and self-driven, with a focus on continuous improvement.
