• Reduced overall process oil losses from 1.96% in 2022 to 1.37% in 2025, achieving and sustaining performance below the 1.60% operational limit through process monitoring, loss analysis, troubleshooting and optimisation of key operating parameters.

• Increased mill processing throughput from 21 MT/hr in 2022 to 24 MT/hr in 2025, achieving the mill's targeted processing capacity through process optimisation, bottleneck identification and operational improvement initiatives.

• Achieved zero Non-Conformities (NC) during the 2025 RSPO and MSPO audits by strengthening compliance documentation, operational controls, SOP implementation and corrective action monitoring.

• Managed CAPEX process improvement project to enhance oil extraction rate (OER) by upgrading hot water tank capacity, covering technical justification, project scope development and implementation coordination.

• Led CAPEX throughput improvement project replacing approximately 150 metres of bogie rail line from I-section steel to square-section steel, eliminating cage derailment-related downtime and enhancing process flow reliability.

Served as a Department of Environment (DOE) Malaysia Competent Person in Palm Oil Mill Effluent (CePOME) and monitored the Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) treatment process.

• Analyse daily process performance, oil loss trends, throughput and operational data to identify abnormalities, process bottlenecks and continuous improvement opportunities.

• Lead process troubleshooting and root cause analysis for operational deviations, collaborating with operations, maintenance and laboratory teams to implement corrective and preventive actions.

• Monitor key process and quality parameters throughout palm oil milling operations to optimise oil recovery, process efficiency and Crude Palm Oil (CPO) production performance.

• Initiated and managed CAPEX and OPEX engineering improvement projects focusing on process optimisation, equipment reliability and oil recovery to boost production throughput.

• Support RSPO, MSPO, HSE and operational compliance activities through audit preparation, documentation control, SOP review and implementation of corrective actions.

• Apply safety-first judgement while operating machinery under established operational guidelines.
• Own daily equipment inspections to keep compliance with safety requirements.
• Diagnosed machine performance issues and fixed minor malfunctions to ensure consistent output.
• Led onboarding for new staff on machine operation and safety procedures to enhance operational readiness.
• Coordinated maintenance team activities to schedule timely machinery maintenance and uphold compliance.

• Schedule preventive maintenance to reduce unexpected breakdown likelihood.
• Managed spare parts and tools inventory, ensuring readiness for urgent repairs.
• Diagnosed equipment faults and troubleshot issues, enhancing equipment reliability.
• Inspected equipment and systems to identify faults, ensuring timely repairs.
• Respond promptly to emergency call-outs to minimise operational disruption.
