Tool Technical Leader

Key Business Challenge to Solve:

• Addressing the Pain Points of India Region Tool technical Management: The complexity and variety of tools and fixtures are high, involving multidisciplinary components such as mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems. At the same time, inconsistent pressure parameters and standards (e.g., usage environments) across different regions lead to high tool failure rates. Additionally, due to remote geographic locations, long response times, and high maintenance costs, tool failures severely impact on-site efficiency.
• Challenges of Long Lifecycle Management: WTG project tool operation and maintenance typically exceed 10 years. Due to operational needs such as maintenance and replacement of major components, tool life needs to be extended to reduce new tool CAPEX. This requires matching tool repair and maintenance capabilities to address potential high-cost failures and significantly reduce investment in new tools.
• Demand for all India tool technical service: Wind farms are widely distributed (e.g., remote areas). Tool maintenance teams need a unified service window to reduce on-site tool repair response times.

Requirements of Key Competence

• Strong communication and coordination skills across cultures (India – China – global). Excellent team management and leadership ability. Clear logical thinking with a global mindset and strong customer service orientation. Ability to resolve conflicts and build a positive working climate across functions. Technical Knowledge: Solid understanding of large equipment maintenance logic; strong knowledge of mechanics, electrical systems, hydraulics. Metrology: Familiar with metrology principles; holding a metrology certificate is a plus. Digital Literacy: Experience with digital systems for operations and maintenance management.

Position Challenge Experience

• Understand and be clear about the management logic of tool and fixture quality management as well as maintenance and calibration.
• Be proficient in the technical characteristics of mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and other components in manufacturing, along with the corresponding quality management elements and maintenance practices.
• Have experience in business planning and successful operations management related to equipment management in manufacturing industries.
• Have experience in establishing and optimizing relevant mechanisms and processes, as well as experience in operating and managing digital management systems.

Responsibilities

1. Overall Tool Operations Management in India:

• Lead all tool technical service activities for wind power tools across India, including preventive/corrective maintenance, calibration, repair, and technical troubleshooting.
• Manage the operation of the India Tool Calibration Laboratory, ensuring full quality control and metrological traceability for all calibrated tools.

2. Maintenance & Quality Assurance:

• Develop and execute periodic maintenance and calibration plans for both Envision owned and third-party tools/fixtures.
• Monitor tool failure rates, analyze root causes, and drive continuous improvement actions.
• Establish unified tool quality management and maintenance standards aligned with global requirements, while adapting to local conditions.

3. Spare Parts & Cost Management:

• Manage safety stock levels for spare parts and consumables; ensure availability while optimizing inventory costs.
• Control the annual maintenance budget and asset depreciation; propose and implement cost-reduction initiatives (e.g., life extension of large components, CAPEX reduction).

4. Local Capability Building & Training:

• Build local tool maintenance and calibration talent pipelines – identify high-potential engineers, provide coaching, and lead skills development.
• Deliver technical training to internal users (engineers, site teams) and external partners (suppliers, contractors) to improve collaboration and first-time fix rates.

5. Cross-functional & Global Coordination:

• Work closely with the headquarters team to execute the India local capability roadmap and strategic business coordination.
• Coordinate with engineering, procurement, and project management teams to resolve conflicts, align priorities, and foster a collaborative working environment.

6. Data, Reporting & Digital Systems:

• Collect, organize, and analyze tool failure data; drive data-based decisions.
• Prepare weekly/monthly work plans and reports, summarizing results and improvement actions.
• Experience with digital operation management systems (e.g., CMMS) is required.

Requirements

• Education and Major: Bachelors degree or above in Electrical Automation, Mechanical Engineering fluent English listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills;
• Work Experience Requirements: At least 5 years of experience in equipment management in heavy-industry manufacturing industries. Experience in TPM implementation and management is required. Experience in production equipment maintenance management in the automotive industry is preferred.
• Core Knowledge and Competency Requirements: Knowledge: Familiar with the management logic of large equipment maintenance, and solid knowledge of mechanics, electrical systems, hydraulics, etc. Competencies: Strong communication and coordination skills; excellent team management ability; clear thinking; global mindset; customer service orientation.
• Familiar with metrology-related knowledge. Holding a relevant metrology certificate is a plus.
