Sub-Assembly Coordinator

What This Role Is About

The Sub-Assembly Coordinator ensures effective coordination, governance, and readiness of all sub-assemblies by linking maintenance execution, spare parts governance, and production needs.

The role anticipates sub-assembly requirements, ensures quality and safety compliance, prevents early-failure recurrence, and sustains production stability through disciplined inspection, defect management, refurbishment control, IWS application, and structured communication, avoiding reactive firefighting.

What Will You Do?

Sub-Assembly Inspection & Defect Management

• Ensure sub-assembly inspections are executed according to defined standards.
• Identify all defects and ensure accurate defect logging.
• Confirm that refurbishment orders fully reflect the actual technical condition before execution.

Sub-Assembly Readiness & Failure Prevention

• Ensure sub-assembly readiness through risk-based prioritization.
• Monitor expected versus actual component lifetime.
• Identify early-failure trends and help prevent unplanned production impact.

Maintenance Coordination

• Maintain structured communication with Maintenance Leads across all cells.
• Ensure findings are reflected in SIMPTWW and maintenance tasks.
• Support proactive planning, aligned execution, and shared visibility of risks and countermeasures.

Safety, Quality & Technical Compliance

• Ensure all sub-assembly activities comply with safety, quality, and technical standards.
• Act as a release gate to prevent non-compliant sub-assemblies from being issued for use.
• Escalate deviations as required.
• Comply with EHS procedures, labour law, corporate guidance, internal regulations, and work performance instructions.
• Understand health and safety aspects of the work, identify hazards, assess risks, and ensure appropriate control measures are implemented.
• Demonstrate commitment to health and safety and take immediate steps to correct unsafe workplace conditions or behaviors.

Workshop, Tools & IWS Standards

• Ensure the sub-assembly workshop, tools, and facilities are maintained in proper working condition.
• Establish and sustain 5S3R standards.
• Act as owner of IWS Standard Work Practices (SWP) related to the workshop and tooling.
• Support safe, efficient, and professional execution.

Who We Are Looking For

• Diploma or Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
• Minimum 3–5 years of experience in maintenance, technical support, or a workshop environment.
• Exposure to cigarette maker/packer equipment is an advantage.
• Good command of the English language.
• Strong knowledge of IWS principles, including DDS, SIMPTWW, standardization, and prevention mindset.
• Good working knowledge of SAP, specifically maintenance, materials, and refurbishment tracking.
• Understanding of sub-assembly lifecycle, refurbishment processes, and failure mechanisms.
• Ability to coordinate and influence without direct authority.

Key Competencies

• IWS principles: DDS, SIMPTWW, standardization, and prevention mindset.
• SAP knowledge covering maintenance, materials, and refurbishment tracking.
• Sub-assembly lifecycle and refurbishment processes.
• Failure mechanisms.
• Coordination and influencing without direct authority.
