Role & responsibilities :
- Process & Parameter Control: Set, control, and continuously monitor mix ratios/index (NCO:OH), raw material temperatures, injection pressures, and line speed in strict accordance with recipes and SOPs.
- Quality & In-Process Checks: Perform and log regular tests for cream time, gel time, tack-free time, core density, peel adhesion, and visual surface/bonding quality.
- Raw Material Handling: Manage polyol/pentane premix operations, enforce FEFO (First-Expired, First-Out), verify drum storage temperatures, clean strainers/filters, manage protected drum changes, and maintain batch traceability.
- Line Setup & Changeovers: Assist in seamless skin and thickness changeovers to minimize downtime; balance line flow with downstream double belt, saw, and packing sections.
- EHS & Pentane Safety Compliance: Strictly follow pentane safety protocols (explosion-proof/LEL monitors, earthing/bonding, ventilation systems), mandatory PPE usage, MSDS guidelines, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), and chemical spill responses.
- Troubleshooting & Optimization:



Identify abnormalities early to troubleshoot issues like core voids, delamination, foam scorching, and edge crush via real-time process parameter adjustments.
- Documentation & Continuous Improvement: Complete shift batch sheets, rejection tags, deviation logs, and ERP/MES data entries accurately; maintain 5S standards and drive improvements in First Pass Yield (FPY), raw material yield, and OEE.

Preferred candidate profile:
- Education: ITI / Diploma in Chemical, Mechanical, or Production Engineering.
- Experience: 3+ years of hands-on experience operating continuous PUF / PIR sandwich panel lines (exposure to mineral wool panels is a plus).
- Technical Skills: Deep understanding of continuous foam process control, density and peel-adhesion testing, precision measuring tools (calipers, gauges, tape), basic root cause analysis (5-Why, basic SPC), and operational data entry in ERP/MES.
- Preferred Background: Candidat
