Maintenance and Unity Manager

• May 2022 - Present

As part of my role reporting to the Operations and Terminals Executive, I manage the operational flows of receipt, processing, handling, storage, and distribution at the Brado Logística terminal in Rondonópolis/MT. Additionally, I oversee the maintenance of machinery, equipment, and building assets across all seven operational units at Brado. One of my greatest challenges, given the tight timeline in the area, was leading a team sizing initiative. In just four months, we reduced fixed costs related to personnel by 5% at Rondonópolis/MT. This complex initiative required careful planning and execution, but the results speak for themselves: more than R$ 800.00 in savings and a 44% increase in volume compared to the last two years. I also developed a maintenance strategy for operating assets, reviewed service contracts, defined a strategy focused on the Cotton 2022 harvest, analyzed financial reports, and managed operating budgets. My primary objective is to ensure compliance with quality and safety standards while coordinating and continuously communicating performance indicators and service objectives for the entire unit team and key areas of the company. As a results-driven leader, I implemented short, medium, and long-term business plans and strategies to support the development of the unit. I also focused on people development by guiding a team of direct and indirect professionals while supporting the development of innovative solutions and services. One of my proudest achievements was my involvement in constructing a new communication system in the maintenance area. This initiative improved the relationship between the operation and maintenance team by allowing us to align asset availability, control the maintenance schedule and make data-driven decisions using a BI tool. Ultimately, we reduced fixed costs by 20%. Show less
