Mechanical Engineer Steel Melting Shop (SMS)

Role & Responsibilities
- Plan, execute, and monitor preventive, predictive, and breakdown maintenance of mechanical equipment in the Steel Melting Shop Induction Furnace, EOT/HOT Cranes, Ladle Refractory Systems, Charging System, and Casting/CCM area equipment.
- Ensure trouble-free operation of induction furnace mechanical systems furnace tilting mechanism, hydraulic power packs, coil & panel cooling systems, furnace body, and refractory lining support structure.
- Carry out maintenance, inspection, and load testing of EOT/HOT cranes, including wire ropes, hoisting mechanisms, gearboxes, brakes, wheels, and rail alignment as per statutory requirements.
- Plan and execute crane trolley/CT and long travel (LT) motion maintenance, including gearbox oil analysis and coupling alignment.
- Coordinate ladle car, ladle turret, and ladle refractory handling equipment maintenance to ensure smooth tapping and casting operations.




- Troubleshoot mechanical breakdowns in real-time during melting/casting operations and take quick corrective action to minimize heat loss/downtime.
- Carry out condition monitoring (vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis) on furnace and crane systems to predict failures before they occur.
- Plan and supervise shutdown/overhaul activities for induction furnace relining, crane major overhauls, and CCM (Continuous Casting Machine) mechanical systems.
- Ensure proper functioning of hydraulic and pneumatic systems associated with furnace tilting, mould oscillation, and ladle mechanisms.
- Maintain equipment history cards, breakdown analysis, and RCA (Root Cause Analysis) reports for major failures.
- Plan and control critical spares inventory (crane wire ropes, furnace coils, hydraulic cylinders, gearboxes) to avoid production loss.
- Ensure strict compliance with safety standards — permit-to-work, LOTO, crane safety checklists, working at height, and molten metal handling precautions.
- Coordinate wi
