Role & responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

1. EAF Operation Management
- Supervise and control EAF operations to ensure reliable, efficient, and safe melting cycles.
- Plan and execute the charge mix, including scrap, Direct Reduced Iron (DRI), and pig iron, as per the heat plan and grade requirements.
- Monitor and control power input, electrode regulation, oxygen blowing, and carbon injection parameters.
- Ensure proper slag control to achieve desired refining and phosphorus removal.
- Optimize tap-to-tap time, specific energy consumption, and electrode consumption to reduce operating costs.
- Monitor furnace lining, roof, and electrode performance; coordinate with refractory teams for relining or patching.
- Record heat-wise operational parameters and analyze deviations for continuous improvement.

2. Process and Metallurgical Control
- Maintain steel chemistry and temperature at tapping in coordination with LRF and VD requirements.
- Ensure deoxidation, slag formation, and addition of alloys as per metallurgical standards.




- Coordinate with the laboratory for heat sample analysis and timely corrections.
- Optimize operational parameters to reduce nitrogen content and improve steel cleanliness.
- Implement and ensure adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for EAF operation.

3. Equipment Maintenance Coordination
- Ensure proper functioning of EAF equipment including transformers, electrodes, furnace roof, shell, tilting mechanism, cooling system, burners, and lances.
- Coordinate with Mechanical, Electrical, and Instrumentation maintenance teams for planned and unplanned maintenance.
- Plan and support furnace shutdowns, relining, and major overhauls.
- Ensure availability and reliability of auxiliary systems including fume extraction, cooling water, and power distribution.

4. Safety and Environmental Compliance
- Maintain zero-incident operations through adherence to SMS safety procedures.
- Conduct pre-start safety checks and ensure all operators
