1What this role really is

As a Senior International Maintenance Coordinator, you're the linchpin that keeps our global machinery humming. Honestly, you're the calm in the storm when a critical piece of kit breaks down halfway across the world. You’ll be orchestrating complex repairs, making sure parts get through customs, and getting highly skilled technicians to the right place at the right time. It's about problem-solving on a global scale, often with tight deadlines and unexpected hurdles. You'll be the go-to person for our plant managers when they need something fixed, yesterday.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Reduction in Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)

How quickly we get a broken machine back up and running, from the moment it fails to when it's fully operational.

Target · Achieve a 10% year-on-year reduction for critical assets.

If a critical packaging line typically takes 48 hours to fix, your efforts should bring that down to 43.2 hours or less over the year.

Improvement in Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

Your contribution to how well our equipment performs, considering availability, performance, and quality. This means less unplanned downtime and more efficient runs.

Target · Contribute to a 3% increase in OEE across your assigned asset portfolio.

By ensuring timely PMs and quick breakdown resolution, you help a plant move from 75% OEE to 78% OEE on key machines.

Reduction in Premium Freight Spend

Minimising the use of expensive expedited shipping for spare parts by planning better and anticipating needs.

Target · Decrease premium freight spend by 15% for international part shipments.

If we spent £50K on urgent air freight last quarter, you'd aim to keep that under £42.5K this quarter by optimising logistics and inventory.

Work Order Completion Rate (On-Time)

Ensuring that both planned preventive maintenance (PMs) and corrective work orders are closed out within their scheduled or agreed-upon timeframe.

Target · Maintain an 85% on-time completion rate for all assigned work orders.

If 100 work orders were due this week, 85 of them should be fully completed and closed in the system by Friday afternoon.

Effective Vendor & Contractor Management

How well you select, manage, and get the best out of our external service providers and parts suppliers.

You'll be proactively engaging with key vendors, negotiating better terms (within your authority), and ensuring they meet their Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Plant managers will consistently report positive experiences with contractors you've arranged. You’ll be the first point of contact for vendor issues, resolving them before they escalate.

Proactive Problem Identification & Resolution

Spotting potential issues before they become full-blown crises, and then dealing with them effectively.

You're regularly suggesting improvements to PM schedules or MRO inventory based on failure patterns. You're leading Root Cause Analysis (RCA) sessions for recurring issues. Leadership will recognise you for bringing solutions, not just problems. You'll catch the customs issue before the part is even stuck.

Mentorship & Knowledge Sharing

Helping junior team members grow and ensuring critical knowledge isn't siloed.

You'll be seen as a go-to person for advice by newer coordinators. You'll lead training sessions on complex logistics or CMMS functionalities. Your documentation of tricky international processes will be clear enough for anyone to follow. Junior team members will report feeling supported and learning from you.

Global Communication & Collaboration

Your ability to communicate clearly and build trust with diverse teams across different cultures and time zones.

You'll get positive feedback from international plant managers about your responsiveness and clarity. You'll successfully de-escalate urgent situations with calm, factual updates. You'll adapt your communication style based on who you're talking to, whether it's a technician on the ground or a regional director.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Solving Complex Global Puzzles

You thrive on the challenge of coordinating multiple moving parts – literally – across continents, dealing with different regulations, languages, and logistical hurdles. Each breakdown is a new puzzle to solve, and you enjoy piecing together the solution.

Successfully getting a bespoke part from a small supplier in Italy, through complex customs in China, to a plant in Vietnam, all within a tight 72-hour window.

Preventing Chaos & Driving Efficiency

You get a real kick out of seeing a smooth operation. Your systematic approach and thorough follow-up mean fewer emergencies and more predictable outcomes. You're motivated by knowing your work directly contributes to keeping production lines running and avoiding costly disruptions.

Implementing a new tracking system for critical spares that reduces emergency freight by 20% and prevents two major production stoppages in a quarter.

Making a Tangible Impact

You want to see the direct results of your efforts. When a machine is back online because of your coordination, or a new process you designed saves time, that's what drives you. You're not just pushing papers; you're enabling real-world operations.

Receiving direct feedback from a plant manager thanking you for quickly resolving a critical issue that saved their production schedule for the week.

What frustrates people

The black hole of customs: a £50K critical spare part held up for a week at the border because of a typo on the commercial invoice.
The domino effect: perfectly coordinating a specialist technician's flight, a critical part's arrival, and scheduled machine downtime across three time zones, only for the technician's flight to be cancelled.
Budget amnesia: being blamed by plant managers for downtime on a machine when they rejected the budget for its preventive maintenance last quarter.
Chasing ghosts: spending hours hounding highly-paid, busy field technicians for proper work order notes so you can close the job in the CMMS and get accurate data.
The 3 AM 'emergency': the urgent, panicked call from a site that turns out to be caused by a local team not following the clearly documented Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).

What this role does not give you

Predictable, routine tasks every day – expect the unexpected.
A quiet, solitary work environment – you'll be communicating constantly.
Instant gratification – some complex issues take weeks to resolve.
Complete control over all variables – you'll often be dependent on external parties.
A role where you only focus on one region or country.

6Who you work with

This role directly drives equipment uptime and operational efficiency across our international manufacturing footprint. Your ability to quickly and effectively resolve maintenance issues prevents costly production delays, ensures product quality, and helps us meet our customer commitments. You're essentially safeguarding our global production capability.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Senior International Maintenance Coordinator, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 10 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Senior International Maintenance Coordinator: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.
