Plant Head Sleeper Plant is responsible for the end-to-end management of a sleeper-manufacturing plant (concrete and/or composite), ensuring safe, reliable, efficient, and high-quality production of sleepers in alignment with Patil Groups strategic objectives. This role will drive operational excellence, cost optimization, capacity scaling, and quality/reliability, while leading a cross-functional manufacturing team.

Key Responsibilities:

1 Operational Leadership & Production

1.1 Oversee all manufacturing operations of the sleeper plant, including raw material handling, prestressing, casting, demoulding, curing, and finishing.

1.2 Implement and maintain Long Line Technology or similar automated systems to maximize throughput, minimize cycle time, and reduce waste.

1.3 Ensure production targets (volume, mix, shift utilization) are met in line with business forecasts.

1.4 Develop and manage plant capacity plans (short-term and long-term), identifying bottlenecks and executing capacity expansion or optimization projects.

2 Quality Assurance & Compliance





2.1 Ensure sleepers meet stringent quality standards (dimensional, strength, durability) as per internal and customer (e.g., Indian Railways) specifications.

2.2 Lead root-cause analysis for rejects or defects; drive corrective & preventive actions (CAPA).

2.3 Ensure compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements (safety, environment, labor), including internal audits.

3 Safety, Health & Workplace (HSE)

3.1 Champion a zero-harm safety culture in the plant.

3.2 Monitor and manage leading and lagging HSE indicators (near misses, incidents, unsafe acts), driving behavior-change programs.

3.3 Lead risk assessments, HSE training, and implementation of safety protocols.

4 Cost & Efficiency Management

4.1 Drive cost optimization through efficient use of raw materials, utilities (power, water), labor, and process improvements.

4.2 Implement lean manufacturing / continuous improvement initiatives (e.g.,
