• Resolved critical equipment breakdowns — including Electricals & instruments with ≥95% first-time resolution and minimal downtime.
• Completed 100% of planned shutdown maintenance jobs with zero spillover, while keeping maintenance backlog within defined control limits.
• Installed and integrated 4+ inclinometers on Blast Furnace BLT (Alpha & Gamma), achieving 100% signal accuracy and improving material distribution reliability by ~20%.
• Delivered 3+ PCI system automation upgrades improving process monitoring accuracy by ~25% and pump operation efficiency by ~15% using ultrasonic level sensing.
• Executed 10+ E&I modification jobs across Blast Furnace, PCI, Pump House with a 100% testing, loop-checking, and commissioning success rate.
• Created and processed 150+ preventive maintenance orders per month in SAP with >98% schedule adherence; generated breakdown orders and coordinated rapid restoration.
• Ensured ~100% material availability for planned and emergency maintenance, cutting related downtime by ~18% through proactive spares planning and store coordination.
• Managed SAP purchase requisitions, material master data, and Bills of Material (BOM) for new products, maintaining >99% data accuracy across orders and materials.
• Sustained zero fatalities and zero reportable LTI across 10,000+ man-hours, with 100% PTW & LOTO compliance before job execution.
• Conducted 70+ safety observations/year with 100% closure rate; identified and mitigated 20+ critical hazards through TPM-based corrective actions.
• Delivered 130+ man-hours of safety and technical training annually, mentoring 10–15 personnel; served as Safety Ambassador conducting 25+ toolbox talks and driving PAHAL & PRAYASH safety initiatives.
• Pump House area under TPM Circle leader with a performance score of 3.23/5, driving continuous improvement initiatives.
• Planned preventive and shutdown maintenance jobs; maintained spares inventory to minimize breakdown time.
• Applied hazardous-area classification awareness in selection and installation of electrical equipment.
• Prepared master data sheets, PM schedules, and calibration/device-status documentation for performance audits.
• Instructed technicians on maintenance procedures, site planning, and operational control methods.
• Troubleshot and configured HART-based instruments (pressure, temperature, flow transmitters) and Siemens G120 AC drives.
