The Diesel Motor Supervisor is responsible for overseeing the maintenance, repair, and operation of diesel engines used in industrial, transportation, or marine environments. This role involves managing a team of diesel mechanics, coordinating maintenance schedules,
diagnosing engine issues, and ensuring that all maintenance work complies with safety standards and manufacturer specifications. The supervisor plays a key role in optimizing engine performance, reducing downtime, and extending the lifespan of diesel motors.

Supervision & Leadership:

• Lead and manage a team of diesel mechanics and technicians, ensuring efficient workflow and high-quality maintenance work.
• Provide training, guidance, and technical support to the maintenance team to enhance their skills and performance.
• Conduct performance evaluations, manage team schedules, and address any personnel issues as needed.

Maintenance Planning & Scheduling:

• Develop and implement preventive maintenance schedules for diesel engines to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
• Coordinate with other departments (such as operations and logistics) to schedule maintenance activities with minimal disruption to operations.
• Adjust maintenance plans as needed to address unplanned engine breakdowns or emergency repairs.

Engine Diagnostics, Inspection, & Repair:

• Oversee the inspection and testing of diesel engines to identify potential issues and ensure proper operation.
• Diagnose mechanical, electrical, or fuel-related issues in diesel engines, and determine the necessary repairs or adjustments.
• Supervise the repair or replacement of engine components such as fuel injectors, turbochargers, pistons, gaskets, and cooling systems.
• Ensure that all maintenance activities follow manufacturer specifications, safety protocols, and industry standards (e.g., EPA emissions regulations).

Troubleshooting & Technical Support:

• Act as the technical expert for diesel engine-related issues, providing troubleshooting support to the maintenan ce team and other departments
• Collaborate with engineering and technical support teams to resolve complex engine problems and optimize performance.
• Review maintenance records and engine performance data to identify patterns, root causes of failures, and areas for improvement.

Safety & Compliance:

• Ensure all diesel engine maintenance activities comply with safety regulations (such as OSHA) and environmental standards.
• Conduct regular safety meetings and training to promote a safe work
  environment and ensure the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Implement and enforce lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures and other safety protocols during engine maintenance.

Inventory & Equipment Management:

• Manage the inventory of spare parts, tools, and equipment required for diesel engine maintenance.
• Ensure that tools and diagnostic equipment are properly calibrated and in good working condition.
• Coordinate with the procurement team to order necessary.
