Mentor candidate engineers and artisans on technical problems
Plan and track preventive maintenance in the CMMS with the artisans and planners

You'll need

Able to manage contractors and budgets

If you hold a GCC, say which one and when you got it. It opens senior plant posts.
Keep the CV to three pages. Link to a short portfolio of designs rather than attaching large files.
