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.

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

- 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.
