Could anyone spare any advice regarding the job and how to perform well?
Thanks

Easy said but good luck.
Let me know more if you need more specifics.

Applying good engineering principles and asking questions like how and why will yield the results.
Use all the resources available to answer your questions - craftsmen, suppliers, peers, supervisors, operators, Eng-Tips etc.
Dont get fobbed off with the "its always been done this way"
answers.
Statistics, KPI's and data identify the direction that you should be focussing - dont get too hung up on them. Remember playing with the numbers isn't improving anything
Dont get lead down the garden path by consultants spouting on about RCM, TPM, etc. etc. Whilst very nice theory these can lead to expensive analysis paralysis without really improving anything - except the consultants finances.
Use technology carefully, it has its place but can be overdone - (thermography, vibration, oil analysis). Once you subscribe you find all sort of new applications for this technology where it may or may not be the most practical or appropriate approach.
