Job Description:
SUMMARY
Improve equipment reliability and optimize area production through optimized maintenance activities. Use predictive tools and preventative maintenance to prevent failures. Track failures and determine root cause to prevent re-occurrence. Project management to implement changes from root cause activities.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES
Gather predictive data. Ensure proper techniques are being utilized through the use of developing procedures and training programs. Analyze data from collection and watch for potential failures. Write work orders for equipment trending to failure and follow up on work order to ensure completion in a timely manner. Optimize predictive routes to capture new machinery, equipment changes, and other potential problems. Expand program to take advantage of new technology.
Develop engineering solution for problems founds in root cause events. Develop capital request for projects to develop funding for projects if required. Order parts and materials directly or delegate to other department according to policy. Work with planners and scheduler to delegate for internal labor resources. Prepare scopes and review with contractors for outside labor needs. On the basis of firm work schedules, coordinates requisition of all predetermined parts, materials and special tools and ensures that equipment to be worked on will be available and ready. Ensure project is completed in time allotted and maintain budget.
Optimize maintenance resources for equipment. Review PM schedule and plans to ensure proper frequency and scope. Perform failure modes and effects analysis on machinery. Perform analyses of assets including: utilization, overall equipment effectiveness, remaining useful life, and other parameters to define condition, reliability and costs. Ensure reliability of equipment by establishing preventive maintenance requirements and service contracts; identifying critical spares; evaluating new equipment and techniques.
Monitor and confirm equipment reliability by conducting audits and tracking performance using KPI’s. Pareto equipment failures and maintenance spending to determine areas of greatest concern.
Track maintenance department KPI’s to determine department effectiveness.
Track equipment failures. Pareto costs and find root cause equipment failures. Develop teams for equipment failures and action items to prevent reoccurrence. Track action items and drive to completion to reduce maintenance costs.
Perform other duties as assigned.

Powered by more than 550 employees, Specialty Granules LLC has been a leader and innovator in aggregates and mining for close to 100 years, manufacturing specialized products for the roofing, construction, and agricultural industries.
SGI is headquartered in Hagerstown, MD, and has five plants strategically located across the U.S. Plants in Blue Ridge Summit, PA; Annapolis, MO; Pembine, WI; and Ione, CA, are open-pit quarries,
mining rock that is crushed and screened to produce granules and aggregates. Granules are colored with ceramic pigments and utilized as colored roofing granules or left uncolored and used on
the unexposed portion of shingles. These granules are then sold to roofing manufacturers in the U.S. to help protect millions of North-American homes each year. Rocks unable to be used for granules are instead utilized in the aggregates market to help protect roads and provide a safeguard against erosion.
