About This Role

This is a maintenance leadership role at a manufacturing plant in Gelan, where you would be responsible for planning maintenance schedules and ensuring equipment reliability across production lines. The position sits at the assistant manager level, meaning you would likely coordinate a team of technicians while reporting to senior management. Kite Manufacturing is an expanding company, so the role probably involves building maintenance systems and processes rather than simply maintaining existing ones.

What the Requirements Say About This Role

The emphasis on ISO and Kaizen experience signals that Kite values structured, continuous-improvement-oriented maintenance practices rather than reactive repair work. Asking for an engineering degree with just over three years of experience suggests they want someone with enough technical grounding to make planning decisions independently, but early enough in their career to grow into the management track. The "asset care" framing in the title implies this role goes beyond scheduling repairs—they are looking for someone who thinks about equipment lifecycle and preventive strategies.

How to Approach This Application

Since applications are accepted in person or via email, and the window is only seven working days, speed matters—prepare your documents now rather than waiting. Emphasize any hands-on experience with preventive maintenance planning, CMMS tools, or continuous improvement initiatives like Kaizen projects you have led or contributed to. Kite is clearly investing in operational discipline, so demonstrate that you can bring structure to maintenance operations, not just fix machines when they break.

Best Fit

Who This Role Suits

Best suited for an engineer with 3-5 years in manufacturing maintenance who is ready to step into a coordination role and can show familiarity with quality systems and improvement methodologies. Given the short application window and single vacancy, competition will be moderate but response time is critical.
