Condition Monitoring Specialist - Prospecton Brewery at The South African Breweries (SAB)

End Date: June 5, 2026

Key Roles and Responsibilities:

• Develop and manage Plant footprint to ensure the correct condition monitoring techniques are applied to prevent functional failures
• Apply RCM practices to prevent functional failures (Vibration Spectrum Analyses, Oil Analyses, Thermography, Ultrasonic Analyses)
• Monitor to detect the onset of deterioration and provide a measure of the extent and rate of deterioration
• Incorporate condition monitoring techniques into SIC systems
• Deliver JIT approach to maintain assets in Plants according to Condition Monitoring results
• Continually review and optimize predictive maintenance plans to ensure maximum output at minimum cost
• Identify trends in asset performance using RCM analysis and implement solutions to reduce breakdowns and improve machine efficiency by applying predictive maintenance solutions Analyze asset performance trends to generate and support preventative and predictive improvement plans
• Monitor reliability indicators based on the condition monitoring report, failure reports and notifications generated
• Monitor adherence to the preventative and predictive maintenance plans; adjust accordingly and take corrective action Monitor assets, condition monitoring indicators and take necessary corrective actions
• Prevention of functional failures and avoid the consequences of functional failures Evaluate effectiveness of regional problem solving through the analysis of formal problem-solving documentation
• Facilitate higher level problem solving for assets by applying standard problem-solving tools informed by Loss & Waste and Condition Monitoring analyses
• Identify maintenance risks and address accordingly by applying the correct condition monitoring techniques
• Maintain the maintenance TCO and ensure appropriately prioritized plans to extend equipment life
• Optimize the asset maintenance life cycle cost through life cycle costing analysis
• Reduce life cycle costing by improving asset maintainability
• Implement condition monitoring best practice
• Where best practice is not available, identify and define good condition monitoring practices (benchmarking against similar assets where possible) and implement accordingly
• Identify and eliminate poor maintenance practices
• Ensure adherence to internal and external condition monitoring standards
• Drive efficiency by ensuring that learnings from downtime and condition monitoring findings are replicated across similar asset across the group
• Reduce mean time to repair and secondary breakdowns by ensuring adherence to good engineering and condition monitoring standards
• Train, coach, assess and sign-off MAS’s and PAs on condition monitoring best practices and standards
• Development of technical standards and work instructions

Minimum Requirements:

• Diploma (N6) in Engineering or Maintenance
• Ideally 3 years’ experience packaging production experience and/or VCAT-I would be beneficial
