You will own the terminal's maintenance strategy, drive reliability and integrity outcomes across critical assets (tanks, pipelines, structures and safety-critical equipment), and manage both sustaining and growth CAPEX delivery.

• Own CMMS governance and asset data integrity (e.g., Infor EAM / equivalent), including work orders, planning, scheduling, and documentation control
• Drive reliability initiatives, root cause investigations and continuous improvement programs to reduce recurring failures and improve equipment availability
• Establish preventive maintenance programs and ensure effective reporting, follow-up actions, and audit-ready record keeping
• Drive asset integrity planning to prevent inspection backlog for tanks, pipelines, structures and safety-critical equipment
• Manage departmental resources and budgets, including prioritisation of work, manpower allocation, and cost control
• Lead technical input into procurement and tendering processes to ensure competitive pricing and quality outcomes
• Manage sustaining and growth CAPEX projects, including scope definition, schedule management, cost estimation, execution governance and operational handover

Requirements

The successful candidate will ideally hold a Degree in Engineering (Mechanical / Electrical / Chemical or related discipline), with at least 6 years of relevant experience in high-hazard industrial environments such as terminals, petrochemicals, oil & gas, power generation, or process industries.
