Millwright (Plant)

Overview:

Our client in the automotive sector is looking to employ a Millwright to conduct mechanical and electrical maintenance and repairs on plant and equipment in a safe and efficient manner.

Minimum Requirements / Experience:

• Grade 12 with Mathematics and Science
• Section 13 red seal Millwright trade test
• N4 electro-mechanical certificate, Siemens PLC
• 5 years’ experience in heavy industry

Key Performance Areas:

Scheduled Maintenance Process

• Receive Maintenance Schedules, plan and execute before they expire. Interpret instructions and plan maintenance and repair work
• Inspect the tooling and determine spares and consumables requirements
• Generate Job Requisitions for scheduled maintenance work (type of repair or maintenance, spares, quantities, time, etc.)
• Transport tools, equipment, and spares to the work site
• Isolate equipment, perform lockouts, complete the LOTO register, and make the work area safe
• Complete the Contractors Permit to Work before contractors commencing work on site.
• Conduct Preventive Maintenance activities
• Perform changeovers in the production environment
• Count stock for a Stock Take integrity check (check spares condition during the count)
• All Scheduled Maintenance shall be recorded (Opened and Closed) to the Maintenance Connection system IN TIME to aid in prolonging equipment life and prevent Unplanned Maintenance.
• Housekeeping: Keep the Workshop and work area clean and maintain or improve on 5S standards.
• Perform Plant start-ups. Plan plant start-up well in advance of planned production starting time to ensure the plant is ready for production. If unsure, ask.
• Track and record personal daily hours to ensure the KPA – Artisan Utilization of? 75% is achieved.

Maintenance Process (Breakdown):

• Attend to machine breakdowns of a mechanical/electrical nature for all equipment under engineering functional control.
• Update the responsible person on the progress of repairs
• Escalate a problem/breakdown to the next level if it cannot be resolved successfully
• All Breakdowns shall be recorded (Opened and Closed) to the Maintenance Connection system to aid in determining the root cause and to calculate KPI and artisan utilization data accurately.

Electrical Maintenance:

• Design and construct Single/Three Phase Circuits
• Design and Install Electrical Wireways
• Construct, commission, and do fault tracing on low voltage reticulation networks (220Vac, 110Vac, 24DC)
• Install or replace and commission electrical equipment (lighting systems; electrical cables and conductors; earth leakage unit in a low voltage circuit; metering units or measuring instruments; low and medium voltage transformers; batteries; electrical wire ways; direct current (DC) machines three-phase AC electrical circuits, machines, and control gear)
• Wire and commission three-phase electrical circuits
• Inspect and clean (electrical machines; enhanced safety apparatus; electrical motors)
• Test and inspect a three-phase industrial/commercial installation
• Inspect and maintain electrical equipment (electrical distribution boards, panels, and enclosures; intrinsically safe apparatus; lighting systems; high mast lighting structures; batteries and battery rooms (UPS, Generator); low voltage switchgear; unit protection devices on transformers; AC or DC drive units; (DC) machines; electric power tools; three-phase AC machines and control gear; AC motor control gear)
• Replace electrical equipment (electrical cables; faulty components in a distribution board; three-phase electrical motor between 5,5 kW and 75 kW)
• Fault find and repair (Domestic appliances; single-phase alternating current (AC) systems; three-phase voltage electrical circuits)
• Disconnect and connect electric motors
• Handle and care for electrical earthing gear and related equipment
• Joint low-voltage cables
• Troubleshoot on programmable logic controllers

Fabrication:

• Mechanically cut, drill, punch, and assemble fabrication materials using powered machinery
• Cut materials using the oxy-fuel gas cutting process (manual cutting)
• Join metals using the resistance welding process
• Weld workpiece (oxy-acetylene welding, shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding)
• Remove metals using oxy-fuel and air-carbon arc gouging processes

Instrumentation Maintenance:

• Construct Basic Electronic Circuits
• Install Instrument impulse lines
• Maintain instrumentation equipment (Flow; Level; Pressure; Temperature; Intrinsically safe apparatus)
• Carry out soldering and de-soldering procedures

Maintenance Process (Post Maintenance):

• Test and commission machinery or equipment before handover
• Complete the Planned Maintenance Schedule-Maintenance Connection (Work completed, work not completed, spares used, spares not available, time taken, observations, problems, etc.)
• Identify any other work required (including additional spares) and communicate to the Planner/Buyer
• Clean up after completion of the job and inform the responsible person that the maintenance has been completed to the required standard

Material Handling:

• Sling loads.
• Operating cranes/hoists
• Operating forklifts

Project Planning:

• Schedule project activities to facilitate effective project execution.
• Monitor, evaluate, and communicate project schedules.

Project Management:

• Contribute to the management of project risk within own field of expertise.
• Supervise a project team of a technical project if and when requested.
• Assist within the project in the field of your expertise.

Project Administration:

• Support project meetings and workshops when required to do so

Continuous Improvement:

• Participate in continuous improvement drives

Reporting:

• Complete Maintenance Time Sheets (nature of work, time spent to repair, and material/spares used)
