Support asset management systems and CMMS administration, including equipment hierarchy, asset integrity, and maintenance data accuracy.
Manage and optimize Bills of Material (BOMs) and spare parts inventory to ensure critical equipment reliability and inventory control.
Assist with maintenance budgeting, cost forecasting, and cost control initiatives for maintenance and reliability projects.
Review, track, and analyze maintenance and project costs to support operational efficiency and long-term asset reliability.
