Maintain accurate records of repairs, inspections, parts used, mold changes, downtime, and preventive maintenance activities.

Maintain an orderly maintenance area and protect tools, spare parts, manuals, and equipment from damage or contamination.

Support spare-parts inventory control by identifying required parts and communicating low-stock or critical-part needs to management.

Coordinate with Production, Quality, Warehouse, and management personnel to schedule work, resolve recurring issues, and improve equipment performance.
