• Provide clear instruction, induction, training, and supervision to staff so that all tasks are performed safely and efficiently in line with company standards.
• Monitor implementation of corrective and preventive actions following hazard or incident reports to maintain zero harm outcomes for employees, visitors, and contractors.
• Review departmental budgets regularly; propose cost-saving measures; monitor expenses closely; and develop strategies for critical equipment overhauls without exceeding financial plans.
• Coach, consult with, and motivate subordinates by developing succession plans, individual development plans (IDPs), competency frameworks, training schedules, KPIs, and performance assessments.
• Collaborate with other functional departments to coordinate training courses for staff development while recognising achievements and addressing areas for improvement promptly.

Your approach is grounded in empathy: you understand how important it is to provide clear guidance while nurturing professional growth among your team members. You are comfortable navigating complex regulatory environments related to health & safety as well as environmental protection. Your analytical mindset allows you to interpret data from various sources (including SAP/IOPX) so that informed decisions can be made quickly when challenges arise. Above all else you are dependable—a trusted partner who ensures that every task is completed responsibly without compromising quality or compliance.

• Hold at least a diploma in electrical engineering or higher qualification relevant to industrial plant operations.

• Possess advanced computer literacy including proficiency in MS Office applications (Word, Excel), MS Project scheduling tools, AutoCAD drafting software, SAP enterprise resource planning systems, and IOPX indicator analysis.

• Display deep understanding of occupational health & safety requirements along with environmental policy adherence specific to industrial settings.
• Exhibit strong organisational skills when managing multiple projects simultaneously—especially during CAPEX initiatives or major plant shutdowns—while maintaining attention to detail throughout each phase.
• Demonstrate ability to review budgets critically; propose actionable cost-saving measures; monitor expenditures effectively; and report on cost improvement outcomes clearly.
