Position Overview

- Leads shift maintenance execution for Powertrain manufacturing, ensuring safe equipment recovery, disciplined preventive maintenance, rapid escalation, technical coaching and reliable handover across highly automated Drive Unit and Battery operations.

- Mission: Deliver safe, capable and sustainable Powertrain operations while building Saudi technical leadership capability and protecting launch, ramp-up and production readiness.

Key Responsibilities

- This role is for a hands-on maintenance team leader who provides front-line leadership to maintenance technicians, coordinates planned and reactive work, controls risk, restores equipment safely and develops a multi-skilled team capable of sustaining world-class Powertrain operations.

Safety leadership and compliance

- Lead every maintenance intervention in accordance with LOTO, electrical and high-voltage controls, machine guarding, interlock, permit-to-work and approved work-instruction requirements.

- Stop unsafe work, prevent unauthorized bypasses, verify zero-energy state where required and ensure equipment is returned to service only after defined safety and functional checks are complete.

- Conduct shift safety briefings, verify technician authorization and certification, close near-miss actions and maintain strong contractor and vendor control within the work area.

Shift maintenance leadership and work control

- Translate the production plan, equipment condition and CMMS backlog into a prioritized shift maintenance plan with clear ownership, timing, parts, tools, permits and escalation routes.

- Allocate work according to competency and certification, balance resources across critical stations and coordinate technician, engineering, controls, facilities, OEM and production support.

- Lead structured shift start, tier response and end-of-shift handover; communicate equipment status, open risks, containment, temporary conditions, parts constraints and next actions accurately.

- Maintain disciplined work-order control, labor booking, failure coding, technical notes and evidence so that CMMS records are complete, auditable and useful for reliability analysis.

Preventive, predictive and planned maintenance

- Own daily and weekly PM schedule attainment within the assigned area; review job-plan quality, verify task completion and challenge overdue, deferred or repeat maintenance.

- Ensure measurements, lubrication, calibration, inspection findings and condition-monitoring results are recorded correctly and converted into follow-up work before deterioration becomes failure.

- Coordinate planned interventions, shutdown activities, spare-parts readiness and post-maintenance validation while minimizing production disruption and protecting product conformity.

Breakdown response and safe recovery

- Assume front-line command during breakdowns: establish safe condition, define immediate containment, organize fault-finding, control communication and drive safe restoration against agreed priorities.

- Guide systematic diagnostics using schematics, alarms, PLC and I/O status, mechanical and electrical checks, machine history and known-failure modes; escalate beyond team authorization without bypassing safeguards.

- Validate repair quality, complete functional checks with production and quality as applicable, confirm stable cycle performance and ensure all temporary measures have named owners and removal dates.

Reliability, problem solving and continuous improvement

- Lead or support QRQC, 5-Why, fishbone and structured root-cause analysis for significant and repeat failures; preserve evidence and convert findings into verified corrective and preventive actions.

- Track chronic losses, MTBF, MTTR, downtime, repeat failure, PM compliance and backlog health; use trends to prioritize countermeasures and improve maintainability, availability and lifecycle cost.
