Job Description: General Manager / DGM / AGM - HEMM Maintenance

Key Job Responsibilities :

- Strategic Asset Management: Develop long-term maintenance strategies (RCM/CBM) for a diverse fleet including brands like Komatsu, Caterpillar, Tata Hitachi, and Liebherr.

- Workshop Excellence: Oversee the on-site Workshop and ensure high-quality engine rebuilds & equipment maintenance that meet OEM standards.

- Field Support: Deploy rapid-response teams to mining sites to handle catastrophic failures and ensure on-site workshops are following Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

- Vendor & OEM Management: Manage relationships with OEMs for Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) and Marcon contracts, ensuring strict adherence to SLA terms.

- Digital Integration: Leverage IoT and ERP (e.g., SAP/Oracle) to monitor real-time machine health, fuel consumption, and telematics data.

Key Result Area (KRA) Performance Indicators:

- Fleet Availability Achieving >85% physical availability for the HEMM fleet across sites.

- Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) Increasing the duration between breakdown events through rigorous PM.

- Cost Management Maintaining Maintenance Cost Per Ton (MCPT) within budgetary targets.

- Inventory Optimization Reducing Dead Stock while ensuring 100% availability of "Critical A" spares.

- Workshop Throughput Reducing Turnaround Time (TAT) for major component overhauls (Engines, Transmissions).

- Safety & Compliance Zero "Lost Time Injuries" (LTI) and 100% DGMS compliance.

- Leadership Strategy for a Smooth Maintenance Ecosystem

To transition from a "reactive" to a "proactive" culture, the AGM/GM will implement the following:

1. The "Pit-to-Plug" Feedback Loop

- Establish a seamless communication channel between site engineers and the Central Workshop. If a component fails prematurely on-site, the workshop performs a Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) and pushes technical bulletins back to the field to prevent recurrence.

2. Condition-Based Monitoring (CBM) Overhaul

Move away from purely calendar-based maintenance. Implement:

- SOS (Scheduled Oil Sampling): Regular debris analysis to predict internal component wear.

- Vibration & Thermal Imaging: Identifying bearing or electrical heat-map issues before they cause a fire or seizure.

3. Skill Matrix & Bench Strength

- Mining sites are often remote. The strategy involves creating a "Skill Level" certification for technicians. High-performers are rotated through the Central Workshop to learn precision tolerances, then sent back to the field as "Master Techs" to lead site crews.

4. Lean Spares Strategy

- Implement a VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) system for high-consumption items (filters, hoses) and a "Hub-and-Spoke" model for major components (Engines/Wheel Motors) to ensure no machine sits idle for want of a part.

Qualifications & Experience:

- Education: B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical/Automobile Engineering.

- Experience: 15-25 years in HEMM maintenance, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role.

- Industry: Open-cast mining, large-scale infrastructure or OEM service management.

- Technical Skills: Expertise in hydraulics, heavy engines (Cummins/MTU) and structural welding.
