• Develop procedures and train analyzer technicians to maintain, validate and calibrate environmental analyzer systems. Apply Analyzer tools (e.g Siemens GC Portal) to evaluate the variability of analyses and define the need for calibration.
• Work with reliability groups to design equipment reliability strategies (preventive maintenance schedules, procedures, spare parts) according to the Global Maintenance Work Process.
• Provide training to maintenance Analyzer Techs on PPM tasks and Level 1 / Level 2 maintenance activities and provide oversight for Level 2 troubleshooting and repair of Environmental Analyzer systems.
• Communicate with production leadership, engineering staff, technicians, resource groups and manufacturing representatives relative to analyzer performance and operation.

Skills

• Troubleshooting: The ability to systematically identify, isolate, and resolve problems with process analyzers and associated sampling systems by using symptoms, data trends, and diagnostics to restore safe, reliable operation, escalating appropriately for unusual issues.
• Data Validation: The ability to confirm analyzer results are accurate, credible, and fit-for-use by checking data against expected ranges, process conditions, and/or reference methods; recognizing abnormal variability and determining when recalibration, maintenance, or further investigation is needed.
• Communication: The ability to share technical information and recommendations with operations, engineering, technicians, and leadership—explaining analyzer performance, issues, risks, and next steps in a way that supports timely decisions and coordinated action.
• Quality Control: The ability to maintain and improve measurement integrity by using quality practices (e.g., trend monitoring/control charting, documentation, and corrective actions) to detect drift, prevent recurrence of issues, and ensure analyzer outputs meet reliability and quality system expectations.
• Calibration Procedures: The ability to perform and support calibrations consistently and correctly by following approved procedures and schedules, using appropriate standards, documenting results, and taking required actions when instruments are out of calibration (including assessing impact to prior measurements).
