Mechanical engineer focused on reliability analysis and maintenance planning in FMCG.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can drive data-driven reliability improvements—using MTTR/MTBF, maintenance planning, and clear engineering documentation—while expanding my Python skills for numerical validation and supporting safer, more efficient manufacturing operations.

I’m a Mechanical Engineer with 4+ years of experience in industrial engineering, maintenance planning, and reliability analysis within FMCG manufacturing environments. I analyze equipment performance data, validate maintenance assumptions, and use engineering metrics like MTTR and MTBF to improve system reliability.

At GB FOODS AFRICA, I design and review structured maintenance plans that account for real-world operational constraints, risk, and resource limitations. I evaluate interventions for technical correctness and long-term impact, and I document engineering decisions, calculations, and assumptions for traceability and continuous improvement.

I also bring cross-functional experience supporting commissioning and integration of new machinery by validating installation requirements, operational parameters, and performance benchmarks. Earlier roles strengthened my practical grounding through root-cause failure analysis, reliability/availability reporting, inventory and store management using SAP, and participation in structured audits like 5S.
