Job Summary:

We are looking for a highly experienced Shop Floor Production Supervisor to lead our fabrication and assembly division. The ideal candidate is a strong "People Manager" who can extract high-quality work from a team of Fitters, Welders (SS), Buffers, and Helpers. You will be responsible for the end-to-end production of Ultrasonic Cleaning Machines, specifically focusing on SS 304L & SS 316L Sheet Metal Fabrication, SPM development, and mechanical assembly of handling systems.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Shop Floor Management & Execution (Primary)

- Get the work done: Directly supervise daily activities of Labours (Fitters, Welders, SS Buffers, Helpers) to ensure production targets are met.
- Work Allocation: Assign specific tasks to different workers based on skill matrix (cutting, bending, welding, buffing, fitting).
- Manpower Management: Address labour shortages proactively; manage attendance, shift scheduling, and cross-training to ensure no downtime due to manpower gaps.
- BOM & Material Planning: Prepare Bill of Materials (BOM) for jobs and coordinate with the store/purchase team to arrange relevant materials on time before the job begins.

2. Technical & Fabrication Core

- Sheet Metal Fabrication: Oversee cutting, bending, and welding of SS 304L & SS 316L sheets with high precision (critical for chemical/ultrasonic environment).

- SPM Machines: Lead the development and modification of Special Purpose Machines (SPM) to improve assembly line efficiency.

- Assembly Integration:



Manage the assembly of complex sub-systems including:

- Handling Systems
- Pneumatic circuits & components
- Heaters, Filters, and Sensors
- Walking Beam mechanisms
- Conveyor Overhead Transport arrangements
- Stainless Steel (SS) Tanks.

3. Process Improvement & Quality

- Problem Solving: Immediately address fitment issues, welding defects, and material shortages using a root-cause analysis approach.
- Lean Manufacturing: Implement Poka-Yoke (error proofing) and Kaizen (continuous improvement) on the shop floor to reduce scrap and rework.
- New Development: Assist in Recent Product Development (NPD) by providing practical fabrication feedback; participate in New Vendor Development (especially for SS sheet cutting/bending vendors).

4. Safety & Compliance

- Safety Enforcement: Ensuring 100% compliance with shop floor safety protocols (PPE for welders, fume extraction for SS welding, buffer machine guarding, fire safety).

Required Skills & Competencies (The "Must-Haves")

- Deep Technical Knowledge: Expert level understanding of SS 304L and SS 316L properties (warpage control during welding, heat input control, passivation).
- Man Management: Proven ability to handle 20+ labourers (specifically welders and fitters). You do not just inspect; you lead from the front.
- CAD Knowledge (Advantage): Knowhow of CAD software (AutoCAD/SolidWorks) to read complex drawings and suggest modifications.
- Vendor & Cross-functional Coordination: Ability to talk to Purchase dept for raw material and Design dept for drawing clarifications.
- Must be Excellent in reading and comprehending Mechanical Drawing

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

- On-time delivery of SS Tanks & assemblies.
- Reduction in welding rework % for SS 316L.
- Manpower utilization rate (Zero idle time due to labour shortage).
- Shop floor safety incident rate.
