• Operational Leadership: Direct the Mechanical Maintenance Department, leading a cross-functional
team of 3 Engineers and 25 technicians to oversee Mechanical, Hydraulic, Pneumatic Overhead Crane
and HVAC systems.
• Reliability Engineering: Increased equipment uptime from 75% to 81% by designing and executing
comprehensive Preventive Maintenance (PM) plans for 72 critical industrial assets.
• Performance Optimization: Restructured specialized maintenance groups for Mechanical, Hydraulic,
and Pneumatic systems, improving team response time upto 95% and operational efficiency by 85%.
• Financial Stewardship: Manage an annual maintenance budget of Rs. 25M, achieving a 2% reduction in
spend while optimizing spare parts to lower inventory costs by Rs. 10M.
• Downtime Mitigation: Successfully resolved over 100 critical mechanical failures, preventing an
estimated Rs. 350M in potential downtime losses
• KPI Improvement: Implemented standardized diagnostic protocols that improved Mean Time Between
Failures (MTBF) by 6% and reduced Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) by 8 hours.
• Strategic Sourcing: Reduced procurement lead times by 5% through in-house manufacturing oversight
and a streamlined spare parts system.
• Led the end-to-end development of 10+ departmental SOPs, resulting in a 10% reduction in processing
errors and ensuring 100% compliance with industry regulatory standards.
• Authored and implemented a comprehensive policy framework for Mechanical Maintenance
Department, streamlining cross-departmental workflows and reducing employee onboarding time.
• Collaborated with executive leadership to draft and refine organizational policies, ensuring alignment
with shifting legal requirements and internal strategic goals.

• Specialized Technical Leadership: Managed the Hydraulics Maintenance Section, providing expert
oversight for high-tonnage assets, including 55 MN and 14 MN Double Acting Presses and a 1200-ton
Forging Press.
• System Integration: Engineered and integrated advanced hydraulic systems for production and
material handling, resulting in a 5% increase in operational cycle speed.
• Predictive Maintenance: Pioneered a Hydraulic Oil Analysis program maintaining cleanliness to NAS
Class < 9 standards, significantly extending the service life of sensitive valves and pumps.
• Advanced Troubleshooting: Utilized hydraulic circuit schematic analysis and Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
protocols to reduce unplanned downtime by 9% and diagnostic time by 10%.
• Technical Documentation: Authored 50+ Technical Reports and RCA documents to provide actionable
insights and prevent recurrence of major system failures.
