Role & responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

- Operate and monitor the CDQ system via PLC/DCS/SCADA to maintain reliable and efficient operation.

- Maintain critical process parameters including coke temperature (inlet and outlet), circulating gas temperature, pressure and flow, steam generation rate and pressure, and waste heat recovery efficiency.

- Ensure uniform cooling of coke to avoid breakage or dust loss.

- Coordinate with Coke Oven Battery for synchronized coke pushing and timely transfer to CDQ.

- Support shift-wise operation focused on optimizing steam generation and coke temperature control.

- Continuously monitor CDQ performance; initiate corrective actions when deviations occur.

- Analyze process data; support trials aimed at fuel rate reduction, steam generation improvement, and heat loss minimization.

- Assist in tuning control logic and interlocks in coordination with Instrumentation and Automation teams.

- Coordinate closely with Coke Oven Battery, Power Plant Utility Team, Maintenance (Mechanical, Electrical, Instrumentation), and By-Product Plant for gas recovery and environmental compliance.

- Operate and monitor key equipment including CDQ cooling chamber, waste heat boiler, gas circulation fans, dust collectors, and conveyors.

- Monitor equipment condition for vibrations, temperatures, and pressures to prevent failures.





- Manage coordination with maintenance teams for timely preventive and corrective actions and support during shutdowns and startups.

- Ensure strict adherence to CDQ safety protocols and oxygen-deficient area norms including PPE, LOTO, confined space, and hot work procedures.

- Monitor and minimize dust emissions, gas leaks, and coke spillages; maintain area housekeeping in line with ISO 45001, ISO 14001, and ISO 9001 standards.

- Participate in safety audits, incident reporting, and near-miss investigations.

- Maintain detailed daily logs covering operating parameters, steam generation and consumption, equipment runtime and downtime, coke temperature, and process efficiency metrics.

- Prepare shift and daily performance reports; support KPI tracking and monthly performance reviews.

- Assist Senior Managers with process studies, technical audits, root cause analyses, and continuous improvement projects.
