Description
We are seeking a Machining Maintenance Process Coach (Machining PCM) with a strong shop-floor leadership mindset and deep hands-on electromechanical expertise to join our team in Chihuahua, CHIH, Mexico.
As the on-shift operational leader, you will be responsible for maximizing the technical uptime of 4- and 5-axis CNC machining cells, directly leading a specialized crew of unionized technicians.
Your mission is to guarantee zero accidents through LOTO/ZES protocols, drive down Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), and ensure the disciplined execution of the preventive and predictive maintenance plan (TPM / Maximo).
Responsibilities
- Act as the uncompromising on-shift authority to ensure no intervention on machining centers, hydraulic presses, robotic cells, or chip conveyors occurs without verifying a Zero Energy State (ZES) and applying personal lockout/tagout (LOTO).
- Command immediate response to Andon alerts and line stoppages across CNC machining centers and automatic transfer lines, rapidly troubleshooting root causes alongside specialized technicians.
- Direct, organize, and develop the shift’s unionized maintenance technicians, equitably distributing work orders while fostering a workplace culture of respect, fairness, and strict adherence to the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
- Diagnose and troubleshoot various machining subsystems, including:
- CNC Kinematics and Spindles
- Proportional Hydraulic Systems
- Coolant Delivery and Filtration
- Automation and Gantry Systems
- Manage and audit the completion of work orders within IBM Maximo, capitalizing on operational windows to carry out centralized lubrication, geometric alignment checks, and critical consumable replacements.
- Oversee the checkout and tracking of high-precision spare parts from the Tool Crib and manage returns for repair, rebuilding, or warranty claims.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s Degree with a Professional License (Cédula Profesional) in Electromechanical, Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
- 3 to 5+ years of experience in automated industrial plant maintenance, with at least 2 years supervising or coordinating specialized technical personnel.
- Essential Technical Knowledge:
- CNC and Control Systems: Fault diagnosis on industrial numerical controllers, with a strong focus on Siemens Sinumerik 840D and/or Fanuc 30i/31i Series.
- Industrial Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Advanced interpretation of proportional hydraulic schematics and fast-acting pneumatic circuits.
- Precision Mechanics: Practical mastery of axis geometric alignment, ball screw backlash, linear guideway preload, and tool turret/magazine calibration.
- Industrial Safety: Thorough command of LOTO protocols, confined spaces, and electrical safety standards under NFPA 70E.
- Language Proficiency: English B2–C1–C2.
