• Monitor and maintain process parameters like temperature, pressure, flow, and humidity etc to ensure paint quality.


• Support maintenance of robotic painting and sealing systems (Fanuc / ABB / Yaskawa).

B. Preventive & Predictive Maintenance

• Prepare and execute Autonomous , preventive maintenance schedules (AM/PM/TPM) for all paint shop zones.


• Conduct predictive maintenance using vibration analysis, thermography, and energy audits etc


• Track and improve MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) and MTTR (Mean Time To Repair).


• Maintain spare parts inventory and ensure availability of critical spares.


• Implement best practices in maintenance

C. Automation & Control Systems

• Maintain and troubleshoot PLC, HMI, and SCADA-based control systems for booths, ovens, and utilities.


• Backup and document PLC logic and HMI configurations regularly (Siemens / Allen Bradley).


• Interface with robots, drives (ABB, Danfoss, Yaskawa), and sensors for process automation.


• Support integration of IoT and digital monitoring systems for data logging and energy management.

D. Utilities & Energy Management

• Monitor and maintain power distribution panels (PCC, MCC) within the paint shop.


• Optimize energy consumption in AHUs, ovens, compressors, and paint booths.


• Maintain compressed air, chilled water, and exhaust systems in coordination with utilities.


• Support implementation of energy-saving and sustainability projects.


• Maintenance of Paint shop fire protection systems

E. Documentation & Compliance

• Prepare maintenance plan & maintain maintenance records, checklists, breakdown logs, and calibration certificates etc.


• Prepare and submit daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance reports.


• Support IATF 16949, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 audits with documentation and evidence.


• Conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for repetitive breakdowns and implement corrective actions.


• Adhere to specific EHS and LOTO procedures.

F. Continuous Improvement & Projects

• Participate in Kaizen, TPM, and Lean Manufacturing initiatives.


• Drive projects to improve equipment reliability, reduce cycle time, and minimize paint losses.


• Support installation and commissioning of new paint lines, robots, and automation upgrades.


• Work with OEMs (e.g., D rr, ABB, Eisenmann, Giffin, Parker) for system upgrades and performance improvements.
