✅Developed FMECAs/FMEA and utilizing various reliability tools to create a risk matrix that identifies primarily financial and safety severity levels.✅Reviewed different assets as Hook conveyors, Basket conveyors, Cold Pilger Mill, Melting Furnace, Holding Furnace, Tube handling device, Tube reduction Line, OTTO Junker Furnace, Extruder, Midas, Schumag and Kemline for updated wiring schematics, wire schedules and plant operating procedures.✅Repetitive or major failures are remedied by an engineered or procedural solution following RCA and modifications in RCM plans.✅Planning, execution and overseeing mini shuts, major shuts and breakdowns.

With a proven track record in engineering and reliability sectors, coupled with expertise in RCM, FMECA strategy development, and RCA, I am confident in my ability to contribute to your team and drive success in this role.Throughout my diverse career, I have demonstrated my commitment to excellence and continuous improvement. In my most recent role at AMR Facilities, I led various projects aimed at optimising system efficiency and enhancing safety measures. Notably, I spearheaded the development of FMECA strategies, resulting in significant improvements in operational efficiency and a reduction in unexpected failure expenditure. Additionally, my hands-on experience in configuring ABB VSDs and analysing energy consumption data led to a 17% decrease in OPEX and a 9% improvement in safety and asset life.I hold a Master's degree in Project Management and have completed extensive professional development courses in microcontroller and PLC technology. My membership in esteemed organisations, such as Professionals Australia, Engineers Australia, and the Institute of Engineering & Technology further underscores my dedication to upholding the highest standards of engineering practice. I am eager to leverage my skills and expertise to contribute to the success of your projects and drive continuous improvement in engineering practices.
