• Minimum of 1-2 years in maintenance, reliability, asset management, operational excellence or process optimization
• Experience with SAP PM or similar CMMS/EAM platform (SAP S/4HANA and data quality focus is a plus)
• Strong analytical mindset: structure data, work with KPIs, translate findings into business impact
• Familiarity with Lean, root-cause analysis, continuous improvement and preventive maintenance (coaching experience is a bonus)
• Fluent English (written, spoken, presentation-ready) with strong cross-functional influencing skills
• Proactive, structured, adaptable approach with genuine teamwork and intercultural agility
