• Lead the transition to condition-based and predictive maintenance, leveraging sensors/data, AI/ML models and advanced analytics to: anticipate failures and reduce unplanned downtime, automate diagnostics and root-cause analysis, optimize asset availability and maintenance intervals
• Drive continuous improvement projects to reduce maintenance cost and improve OEE, operational stability and energy efficiency
• Evolve CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) and asset data quality (work orders, spare parts, BOMs, history, failure codes), turning maintenance records into actionable insights
• Monitor equipment performance through KPIs and dashboards, identifying trends and improvement opportunities in line with ABB standards and OEM specifications
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Engineering, Procurement, IS/IT and Operations to redesign workflows, support installation/commissioning/qualification of new equipment and standardize best practices
