Role Description

This role is designed for someone who understands that the future of maintenance and asset management is driven by data, reliability engineering, and intelligent systems. If your experience is rooted in Reliability-Centred Maintenance (RCM), preventive and predictive strategies, labour optimisation, and cost control, and you are interested in applying this knowledge to AI-driven solutions, this is a unique opportunity to operate at the forefront of the industry.

Key Responsibilities

• Work closely with Heads of Maintenance, Engineering Leaders, and Operations teams to understand:
  • Maintenance strategies and maturity

  • Asset lifecycle optimisation
• Develop and lead Proof of Concepts (PoCs) that validate:
  • Operational improvements
  • Cost savings
  • Performance uplift
• Translate business requirements into clear scope of works for DataMax AI R&D teams
• Ensure AI solutions integrate effectively with EAM/CMMS platforms (Maximo preferred) and align with real operational workflows
• Build clear ROI models, ensuring every solution delivers measurable impact across:

  • Asset uptime
  • Labour efficiency
  • Inventory and working capital
• Support clients in adopting solutions that improve their infrastructure, operations, and long-term asset strategy

Qualifications

• Strong background in Asset Management, Maintenance, or Engineering leadership
• Deep understanding of:
  • RCM and reliability frameworks
  • Preventive and predictive maintenance strategies
  • Workforce and labour optimisation
  • Spare parts and inventory management
• Experience working with EAM/CMMS platforms, ideally IBM Maximo
• Ability to translate operational challenges into structured, solution-driven approaches
• Commercial awareness and the ability to link technical improvements to cost and performance outcomes

The Opportunity

This role offers the opportunity to work across industries and influence how organisations manage and optimise critical assets. You will play a key role in:

• Defining how AI is applied to asset management in real environments
• Delivering measurable improvements in cost, performance, and efficiency
• Shaping solutions that can be scaled across multiple industries

Apply

If you are interested in moving beyond traditional asset management roles and want to be involved in shaping the next generation of maintenance and asset optimisation, we would welcome a conversation.
