Managed mechanical maintenance operations in fully mechanized underground coal mining systems, including 17 mechanized equipment fleets and all surface support units. Supervised 3 major mechanical workshops, overseeing 25 white-collar staff (engineers, planners, supervisors) and 160 blue-collar personnel (technicians, welders, machinists). Led the planning, installation, maintenance, and revision of longwall shearers, powered roof supports, conveyors, pumps, and hydraulic systems. Developed and implemented structured preventive maintenance programs and spare part strategies aligned with production and safety targets. Coordinated technical communication between OEMs, contractors, and internal stakeholders during fleet assembly and commissioning. Localized spare part procurement, reducing external dependency and achieving significant cost savings. Conducted failure analysis and root cause investigations to increase equipment reliability and reduce downtime. Designed and standardized maintenance workflows and shift-based planning models to ensure operational continuity. Monitored technical documentation compliance, improved workshop safety KPIs, and supported engineering audits and inspections. Contributed to multi-year investment planning, tender document preparation, and technical specification writing. Managed a total mechanical maintenance and capital investment budget exceeding $70 million, covering procurement, workshop operations, and underground system upgrades.
