We are committed to decarbonising our business by 2040. To achieve this, electrification of our container handling fleet is pivotal. Do you have the passion, curiosity, and technical expertise to be a key part of our journey?
Our goal is to ensure terminals maintain high productivity, operational readiness, and safety levels while transitioning from diesel to electric equipment, including battery electric solutions. This involves developing maintenance requirements, plans, risk analyses, mitigation strategies, and backup scenarios for battery electric equipment and charging infrastructure.
The primary role of this position is to support the deployment of electrification solutions for new and existing port equipment by establishing and updating standards for the maintenance community. You will play a crucial role in fleet electrification across various mobile container handling equipment and terminals, supporting local maintenance teams by integrating inputs from OEMs, pilot projects, and other terminal insights.
The purpose of this role is to drive the electrification of Container Handling Equipment (CHE) in line with our decarbonisation strategy and Equipment Electrification policy.
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTABILITIES :
Act as the main contact point and collaborate with the global Decarbonisation office to enable our decarbonisation strategy.
Identify and develop requirements for energy-optimized terminal equipment solutions from an electrical infrastructure perspective.
Conduct technical feasibility evaluations and recommend infrastructure solutions to facilitate port equipment electrification and energy optimisation.
Contribute to technical specifications, representing the maintenance community to ensure functional requirements are understood and addressed.
Participate in tender processes, analyzing and evaluating proposals from consultants and contractors.
Work with technical peers to ensure the design, engineering, and delivery of integrated assets meet internal standards.
Collaborate with OEMs to ensure documentation, training, and safety instructions for electric equipment meet maintenance community requirements.
Coordinate with other technical functions for pipeline management related to equipment replacement and procurement.
Serve as a subject matter expert for energy optimisation initiatives at terminals.
Manage aspects of asset acquisition, operational readiness, replacement, obsolescence, disposal, and lifecycle handling.
Develop standards and practices aimed at minimizing the total cost of ownership of electric assets.
Monitor and analyse performance metrics of new assets, such as battery charging times, availability, and reliability.
Establish feedback mechanisms between maintenance teams and the decarbonisation team, including stakeholders like consultants and contractors.
Build and maintain collaborative relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
