1. Strategic Planning & Deployment

• Plan and deploy plant & machinery in line with construction methodology, project schedules, and BOQ requirements.
• Prepare equipment mobilization and demobilization plans for different project phases.
• Ensure right equipment selection for highway works (earthwork, GSB, WMM, DBM, BC, structures, bridges).
• Optimize owned vs hired equipment to achieve cost efficiency.

2. Equipment Operations & Utilization

• Ensure maximum equipment availability and utilization with minimum idle time.
• Monitor daily equipment performance reports, utilization hours, and downtime analysis.
• Coordinate with construction teams to align equipment deployment with site priorities.
• Control frequent operator/equipment changes to improve productivity and accountability.

3. Maintenance & Workshop Management

• Establish and enforce preventive and breakdown maintenance schedules.
• Ensure availability of critical spares, lubricants, and consumables.
• Monitor workshop operations, repair turnaround time (TAT), and maintenance costs.
• Maintain equipment history cards, service logs, and AMC records.

4. Cost Control & Budget Management

• Operate P&M as a profit/cost center in alignment with company policy.
• Control and monitor:
• Fuel consumption norms
• Repair & maintenance expenses
• Hiring costs
• Operator overtime and deployment costs
• Prepare monthly P&M cost reports, variance analysis, and corrective action plans.
• Support BTC (Budgeted Technical Cost) adherence and initiate amendments where required.

5. Fuel, Lubricants & Asset Control

• Implement fuel management systems, including issue controls and reconciliation.
• Monitor fuel norms vs actual consumption and investigate deviations.
• Prevent misuse, pilferage, and unauthorized deployment of equipment.
• Ensure proper asset tagging, GPS monitoring (if applicable), and tracking.

6. Manpower & Operator Management

• Plan and deploy operators, drivers, mechanics, and helpers as per equipment strength.
• Ensure operators are competent, certified, and medically fit.
• Conduct skill assessments and training for operators and mechanics.
• Coordinate with HR for manpower planning, discipline, and retention.

7. Safety, Compliance & Statutory Requirements

• Ensure compliance with statutory requirements, including:
• Equipment fitness & RC
• Insurance
• Pollution certificates
• Operator licenses
• Enforce safe operating procedures (SOPs) and toolbox talks.
• Investigate equipment-related incidents/accidents and implement preventive measures.
• Ensure compliance with ISO, EMS, OHS, and client safety standards.

8. Coordination & Stakeholder Management

• Coordinate closely with:
• Project Head & Construction Team
• Planning & Billing
• Stores & Procurement
• HR & Admin
• Corporate P&M Team
• Support project progress reviews by providing equipment readiness and constraint analysis.

9. Reporting & MIS

• Prepare and submit:
• Daily equipment deployment reports
• Monthly utilization & cost MIS
• Breakdown & downtime analysis
• Fuel & maintenance dashboards
• Support audits and management reviews with accurate data and documentation.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Equipment availability & utilization percentage
• Cost per hour / cost per km benchmarks
• Fuel efficiency adherence
• Breakdown frequency & downtime reduction
• Compliance score (safety & statutory)
• Alignment with BTC and project schedules
