Condition Monitoring Technician
-
Aug 2018 - Present
My role involves maintaining, developing and implementing upgrades to the condition monitoring program within the mill. I also developed and established the RCA process in use on our site, and have assumed overall responsibility for RCA. My daily duties include:-Collecting vibration data on an 8-week schedule, covering over 1,000 pieces of equipment across the entire site (>4,000 bearings measured).-Analysing the data from both online and handheld sources, reporting any issues identified to the area supervisors & detailing the work required to rectify the fault condition. There have been no unidentified failures on any equipment I measure - I ensure maintenance always know of the issue before functional failure occurs.- Facilitating RCA meetings. I established both the threshold criteria for an RCA investigation and the procedure to be followed to conduct an investigation. I have facilitated several RCA investigations since the processes inception, and there have been no repeat occurrences of any incidents investigated. Show less
