Core Competencies & Skills:
Plant Operations & Maintenance
· Operate, troubleshoot, and maintain all mechanical and electrical equipment used in liquid fertilizer production:
· Maintain mixing tanks, fermenters, agitators, and transfer pumps.
· Control panels, motors, Variable Frequency Drives, sensors, solenoid valves.
· Bottle filling machines and mouth sticker guns, etc.
· Boilers or heaters (if thermal digestion is used), cooling towers, pH correction systems.
· Execute preventive, predictive, and breakdown maintenance schedules.
· Monitor motor currents, vibration, temperature, lubrication levels, and electrical insulation.
2.
Mechanical Focus
· Repair and alignment of pumps, agitators, gearboxes, and pipe joints.
· Fabrication/modification of pipelines, tank fittings, and support structures.
· Welding and pipe threading.
· Manage spare parts inventory for mechanical seals, bearings, gaskets, and impellers.
3.
Electrical Focus
· Diagnose and repair control circuits, contactors, thermal overload relays, and PLC-related faults.
