SME Total Preventive Maintenance Manager

Descripción del puesto:

We are seeking an experienced Subject Matter Expert (SME) - Total Preventive Maintenance (TPM) to lead the rollout and continuous improvement of TPM practices across our manufacturing operations in Europe.

An important part of the role is guiding the deployment and evolution of SAP PM and supporting the identification of IIoT use cases that help prevent equipment breakdowns and enable data-driven decisions.

* Ability to deliver trainings
SAP AM & Digital Coordination
* Coordinate the SAP PM deployment and improvement roadmap in line with TPM principles.
* Act as the main business interface for SAP PM, working closely with IT and system partners.
* Support sites in using SAP PM effectively and consistently.
* Regional SPOC for Maintenance Control Tower
Advanced Maintenance Technologies & Predictive Maintenance
* Lead the identification and prioritization of condition-based and predictive maintenance use cases, enhanced equipment connectivity, monitoring technologies, and asset health data.
* Work cross-functionally with Engineering, Digital, and OT/IT teams to translate maintenance and reliability challenges into scalable, operational solutions.
* Drive the regional transition from reactive and time-based maintenance to condition-based and predictive approaches, embedded within TPM standards.
* Ensure advanced maintenance initiatives deliver measurable business value and are fully aligned with SAP PM processes, data models, and maintenance strategies.
Leadership & Communication
* Coordinate activities across functions without direct line management responsibility.
* Support and coach site teams on TPM mindset and continuous improvement.
* Communicate progress, challenges, and results to site leadership and senior management.
* Contribute to broader Operational Excellence and Lean initiatives.
What will make you successful:

* Experience in TPM, Maintenance Excellence,, or Manufacturing Operations.
* Practical experience supporting or leading TPM implementation in an industrial environment.
* Solid understanding of maintenance processes and asset reliability.
* Experience with SAP PM projects or deployments.
* Strong communication and change management skills

* Expose to asset connectivity, diagnosis and advanced maintenance solutions

What's in it for you:
