To drive compliance within Engineering and Utilities in accordance with industry and CCBA standards. This is achieved through monitoring of application and advising the business to enable continuous improvement in performance levels and advocate for the enhancements to CCBA processes where required.
Key Duties & ResponsibilitiesUtilities and Engineering Standards and Technology
Develop an annual plan focusing on Key Performance Indicators, engineering compliance, repository of standards, auditing, and implementation of actions for gap closure. Research and extract national and global best practice engineering and utilities standards from available information and data, synthesize information and create a benchmarking document detailing the standards; upload information into a repository, ensuring easily accessible retrieval. Prepare and workshop standards document with Plant Engineering teams; assist in the roll-out of the system and standards across each site through a range of forums. Monitor and oversee compliance with country-specific legislation, as well as The Coca Cola Company (TCCC) governance policies, procedures and protocols associated with engineering aspects of manufacturing. Support implementation of new technology and optimisation processes and make recommendations in support of sustainable development specific to water and energy usage. Put together programs and run communities to build capacity and capability of the Engineering Community. Support implementation of engineering technologies available; set up visits as applicable to view utilisation of different and new technology; participate as integral team member to consider possible applications and adaptations of new technology for CCBA.Management and Support of Utilities
Monitor and measure operational efficiencies monthly in terms of current performance against key KPI’s; analyse and interpret data obtained to quantify performance targets being achieved, maintained, and improved. provide feedback on data to Plant Engineering and Operations Sustainability as applicable; challenge results on deviations from standards; ascertain detail of action plan to course correct; monitor execution of action plan. Advise and assist regions with utilisation and/or access to equipment to fill identified gaps related to utilities, while ensuring production levels are maintained and compliance with standards occur (i.e., Identify gaps and develop solutions).Compliance
Maintain, and update documentation specifying all aspects of local/regional legislation associated with engineering and utilities processes, upload documents for easy retrieval. Keep current with changes to local/regional legislation and governance protocols and regulations; update documents immediately as changes occur. Continually monitor Plant Engineering compliance with legislation and governance protocols; advise on deviations; escalate matters as required (i.e., ensuring appropriate escalations). Conduct compliance audits (e.g., KORE) at each plant against engineering and utility standards; carry out annual Supply Chain Maturity Assessment (SCMAT) audit on Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) components; identify gaps and areas of improvement; make recommendations to assist Plants develop corrective action plans; monitor implementation of action plans for correction of deviations and gap closure.. Conduct refresher training annually with Plant Engineering on standards and compliance requirements; raise non-compliance trends and assist in developing action plans for resolution.Specialist Advisory Service and Sustainable Development Partnership
Provide a specialist advisory service to Plant Engineering to achieve engineering and governance targets; assist in sourcing new technologies and in implementation and utilisation to improve KPI’s; assist with project management and advice on installation. Set up, lead, and ensure minuted meetings of stakeholder regional forums; among other aspects, share applicable information and identify problem trends in compliance. Jointly monitor action plans, close identified gaps, provide input on age and obsolescence of equipment, provide joint input on elements of capital projects. Conduct annual water and energy improvement and benchmarking audits as part of the team; submit data for collation by Operations Sustainability.Capital Projects Input
Provide input into capital projects related to utilities and technical equipment through advising project teams on the alignment of new technology with required standards. Assist in value engineering of design proposals for utilities in the initiation and planning phases of capital projects as an integral team member. Review whole processes when conducting a sense check of capital project proposals for the purchase of utilities equipment; advise on alternative and develop viable options.Skills, Experience & Education A minimum of a BSc Mech or Elec Engineering or equivalent (for the rest of Africa) A minimum of Government Certificate of Competency (GCC) factories (a minimum of a BSc Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or equivalent) for South Africa. A minimum 5 to 8 years’ experience in a utilities environment, preferably in FMCG. General
