Compliance, Safety & Reliability

• Ensure all planned work complies with legislative, regulatory, and code requirements (electrical code, fire code, building code, insurance standards).

• Support ESA inspections and ensure electrical standards are maintained.

• Utilize CMMS reporting to monitor planning and scheduling performance—including PM compliance, backlog, labor utilization, and planned vs. unplanned ratios.

Continuous Improvement & Support

• Plan and optimize annual preventative maintenance, rebuild, and overhaul programs for equipment and facility systems.

• Support capital projects, building initiatives, and cross-functional meetings as required (e.g., Think-box, stakeholder meetings).

• Retain and coordinate contractors as authorized by the Maintenance Manager.
