• Analyse data trends, diagnose faults (unbalance, misalignment, bearing wear, looseness, electrical issues).
• Compile detailed reports with recommended corrective actions for maintenance planning.
• Perform precision shaft alignment and balancing on packaging line equipment.
• Maintain and update condition monitoring records in the plant’s CMMS / EAM system (e.g., SAP PM, Pragma, Maximo).
• Collaborate with engineering and production teams to plan predictive maintenance shutdowns. 
• Ensure all work complies with safety, quality and HACCP/GMP requirements (if in food/pharma packaging).
