Supervisor School

This course assists Supervisors of maintenance teams with their dual purpose: to ensure that work by the maintenance teams is delivered safely on time and with requisite quality; and to provide immediate advice back to the organisation on equipment-based risks which can lead to operational downtime. The first is an essential leadership role and the second recognises that Supervisors must have the appropriate technical knowledge and experience to understand the equipment their teams work on. Participation in this course will help Supervisors balance their time between administration duties that support their team and its workflow with walking the sites, observing potential problems and driving continual improvement.

Asset Management School was absolutely fantastic! Not just the content, but also the networking evening, the whole experience. Despite 23 years as a maintenance engineer and planner, I learnt so much to take back to apply in my business.
