JOB DESCRIPTION:

POSITION SUMMARY:

 

The Facilities Department is responsible for repairs, maintenance, and modifications to the site, building, and production supports systems (e.g. HVAC, electricity, compressed air, plumbing, etc.).  To perform the tasks related to these responsibilities, Bendix utilizes a mixture of contractors and in-house labor.  The in-house labor, being the Facilities Department Technician (technician) will usually be assigned tasks via the computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), then complete the assigned tasks, either solo, part of a team, and or by working with a designated contractor.

Upon assignment of a repair, the technician will investigate and perform a root cause analysis, then work to make immediate repairs, as well as develop and communicate countermeasures that will prevent the failure in the future.  If parts are needed, the technician will either utilize the onsite spare parts inventory, or research to determine what resource outside of Bendix has the necessary materials.  The technician will communicate with the appropriate parties to schedule the work, go about the activities to complete the work, then complete the necessary Return to Service documents, and document all the labor, parts, and materials in the CMMS with closure of the work order.

 

Upon assignment of preventive maintenance activities, the technician will review the job plan, gather the indicated tools, and materials, adhere to the indicated safety plan then complete the indicated tasks to the best of his ability.  Upon completion of the PM activities, the technician is expected to test the machine or system, replace all panels and applicable fasteners, clean up the work area, return tools and unused materials to appropriate locations, and document all the labor and materials used in the CMMS.

 

When assigned a modification, the technician could be expected to work with the designer to prepare for the modification in a variety of ways. Either by assisting with data gathering, selection of parts and materials, layout of piping and components, planning or scheduling of the work, or other assignments as necessary.

 

As the Bendix culture supports continuous improvement, the technician is expected to look for, and report, recommendations for the improvement of job plans, spare parts inventory, tools used, communication methods, planning, etc.  The technician may be asked to analyze failure frequency, or failure modes, or other available information necessary to determine an improvement to one of the areas of responsibility.
