Preventive and scheduled maintenance 

• Develop, implement, and track preventive maintenance (PM) programs for all heavy equipment (forklifts, telehandlers, generators, scissor lifts, light towers, electrical and mechanical tools/equipment, scaƯold, oƯices/containers, etc. etc.). 
• Schedule routine inspections and service intervals based on manufacturer recommendations and usage data. 
• Maintain spare parts inventories and reorder levels to minimize downtime.

 Diagnostics and troubleshooting

• Perform fault finding on mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and electronic systems. 
• Use diagnostic tools (multimeters, pressure/flow testing, EDM analyzers, onboard diagnostics) to identify root causes. 
• Determine whether repairs can be done in-house or require OEM specialists.

          Repairs and overhauls

• Carry out or supervise mechanical repairs, component replacements, hydraulic system work, brake and steering maintenance, and electrical system servicing. 
• Plan and execute major overhauls, including engine, transmission, hydraulic pumps, undercarriage, and boom/counterweight components.
• Test and verify repairs, road-test equipment, and ensure proper function before return to service.

Lubrication and wear management

• Implement lubrication schedules for all moving parts and hydraulic fittings. 
• Monitor wear parts (filters, seals, pins, bushings) and manage replacement plans to prevent unexpected failures.

Documentation and data management

• Maintain accurate maintenance logs, service records, and work orders.
• Track equipment hours, downtime, parts usage, and service history for lifecycle analysis. 
• Generate reports on maintenance performance, MTBF/MTTR metrics, downtime maintenance cost per hour and cost of ownership (provide insights to management). 
• Update maintenance logs, service histories, downtime records, and parts usage in the maintenance management system.

Reliability and optimization

• Analyze failure trends to identify chronic issues and implement corrective actions
• Recommend design or process changes to improve reliability and uptime. 
• Optimize maintenance intervals based on usage patterns, operating conditions, and manufacturer guidance.

Safety and quality regulatory compliance

• Ensure all maintenance work complies with safety standards, manufacturer requirements, and local regulations. 
• Enforce lockout/tagout procedures, safe lifting practices, and proper use of PPE. 
• Verify that equipment is safe to operate after service, including functional checks and test runs. 
• Maintain accurate, legible service records, warranty documentation, and audit[1]ready reports.

Procurement and vendor coordination

• Source parts, lubricants, and consumables; negotiate with suppliers for price and lead times
• Coordinate with OEM service providers or third-party repair shops for complex diagnostics or warranty work. 
• Manage warranty claims and documentation when applicable.

Planning and coordination with operations

• Schedule maintenance to minimize impact on production and project timelines. 
•  Communicate status of repairs and expected downtime to site managers and operators. 
• Provide guidance on equipment utilization, de-rating, or temporary replacements during maintenance.

Training and knowledge transfer

• Train operators and junior technicians on basic maintenance routines, proper operation, and safety practices. 
• Keep the team updated on new techniques, tools, or OEM service bulletins.

• Field and shop maintenance experience with heavy equipment (cranes, excavators, loaders, bulldozers, concrete pumps, etc.). 
• Familiarity with hydraulics, engines, transmissions, electrical systems, and diagnostics. 

       Technical Skills: 

• Proficient in using diagnostic tools, multimeters, pressure/flow tests, EDM analyzers. 
• Strong understanding of hydraulic systems, diesel engines, transmissions, brakes, and steering. 
• Basic PLC/electrical control knowledge is advantageous. Software:
• Experience with maintenance management systems (CMMS), ERP modules, and productivity apps; basic data analysis skills.

Physical Demands

• Ability to lift heavy components, work in varying weather conditions, and perform inspections and repairs in field and shop environments. 
• Certification and Training: Safety training including Lockout/Tagout, Sling/Lift planning, Fall protection, and forklift awareness as applicable.

Competency

• Problem-solving and analytical thinking. 
• Strong attention to detail and thorough documentation. 
• Effective communication with operators, supervisors, and vendors. 
• Time management and prioritization under tight deadlines. 
• Safety-first mindset and adherence to procedures.
• Teamwork and capability to train others.

    Performance Metrics:

• Equipment uptime % and MTTR.
• PM compliance rate and on-time completion.
• Mean time between failures (MTBF) for critical assets. 
• Maintenance cost per hour and warranty recovery. 
• Downtime due to maintenance and repeat failures. 
• Safety incident rate related to maintenance activities.

   Work Environment:

• On-site at construction project locations and in the shop/maintenance yard.
• Potential for overtime, after-hours calls, night shifts, or weekend work during critical project phases. 
• Exposure to loud environments, heavy machinery, and varying weather conditions.
