• Participate in mould tool Factory Acceptance Trials (as required).

• Collaborate with Process Engineers to improve tooling performance and Own the PM planning for assigned product groups.

Spare Parts & Inventory Management

• Source obsolete or hard-to-find parts using alternative suppliers, reconditioned components, or equivalent substitutes that meet specifications.

• Forecast parts demand for planned maintenance tasks, ensuring timely availability of critical components.

• Maintain accurate documentation of parts usage, stock levels, and future demand.

• Control parts-related expenditure, identify cost-saving opportunities, and optimise spare parts lifecycle management.
