- Identify root causes of hydraulic failures (pressure loss, leakage, overheating, contamination, valve malfunction, pump failures).

- Conduct regular inspection of hydraulic pumps, motors, cylinders, valves, hoses, accumulators, filters, and fittings.

- Respond to breakdowns with quick fault identification and restoration.

1. Preventive &
- Predictive Maintenance

- Develop and implement preventive maintenance schedules for all hydraulic systems.

- Monitor hydraulic oil quality, pressure settings, temperature, flow characteristics, and contamination levels.

- Maintain logs for oil changes, filter replacements, and system overhauls.

- Ensure health of cooling units, lubrication systems, and pressure relief systems.

1. Safety &
- Compliance

- Ensure adherence to safety standards related to hydraulic equipment operation and maintenance.





- Conduct risk assessments of hydraulic systems and implement corrective actions.

- Maintain compliance with ISO, OSHA, and plant-specific safety guidelines.

1. Documentation &
- Reporting

- Interpret hydraulic drawings, schematics, and technical manuals.

- Maintain documentation of hydraulic system parameters, maintenance records, and service logs.

- Coordinate with vendors/contractors for hydraulic parts, system upgrades, or service visits.

1. Team Coordination

- Train technicians on hydraulic maintenance best practices.

- Work closely with the electrical, mechanical, and operations teams for coordinated execution of maintenance activities.

Skills &

- Competencies

- Strong knowledge of industrial hydraulic systems (high-pressure/large capacity).

- Experience with hydraulic pumps, proportional valves, servo valves, accumulators, and filtration systems.

- Ability to read and interpret hydraulic circuits, P&ID;, and equipment manuals.

- Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

- Understanding of PLC-controlled hydraulic systems (preferred).

- Knowledge of safety protocols and lockout/tagout procedures.

Educational Qualification

- Diploma / B. Tech in Mechanical Engineering, Hydraulic Engineering, or related field.

- 5–10 years of experience in hydraulic maintenance, preferably in a ferrous shredder plant, heavy machinery, steel, recycling, mining, or similar industrial workplace.
