Key Responsibilities

Machinery Maintenance & Breakdown

- Ploughshear & paddle mixers Maintain and repair the mixers & mechanical assemblies ploughshares, blades/liners, shafts, bearings, seals, gearboxes and couplings — and manage wear-part replacement on the abrasive cement-based line.
- Discharge & pneumatics — Maintain discharge gates/valves, air-operated actuators, compressors, air lines and dust-collection dampers.
- Packing & stitching machines — Maintain the mechanical side of automatic and manual stitching machines and packing equipment — needle/feed mechanisms and moving parts.
- Attend to mechanical breakdowns promptly to restore production, and carry out root-cause analysis to prevent recurrence.

Preventive & Predictive Maintenance

- Plan and execute preventive maintenance schedules — lubrication, bearing checks, alignment, tightening

and wear inspection — to maximise uptime.

- Monitor equipment condition (vibration, noise, wear, temperature) and act early to avoid failures on critical machines.
- Maintain a healthy stock of mechanical spares and wear parts, and coordinate procurement of critical items. Fabrication, Projects & Improvement
- Carry out welding, fabrication and minor mechanical modifications for repairs and improvements.
- Support installation, commissioning and alignment of current equipment and capacity additions.




- Drive improvements to reduce wear, downtime and maintenance cost across the plant. Safety, Compliance & Records
- Follow safe maintenance practices — lockout/tagout, work permits, safe isolation — and coordinate with the electrical team on shared equipment.
- Maintain maintenance records, breakdown logs, PM checklists and spares registers accurately.
- Support housekeeping, 5S and statutory mechanical compliance on the shop floor.

Candidate Profile

- Diploma / B.E. in Mechanical Engineering.
- 3–8 years of mechanical maintenance experience, preferably in dry-mix, cement-based products, chemicals or a process manufacturing plant.
- Rotating equipment expertise — hands-on with mixers, gearboxes, bearings, shafts, seals, couplings and material-handling systems.
- Working knowledge of pneumatics, compressors, and mechanical alignment; welding and fabrication ability.
- Ability to read mechanical drawings and carry out planned and breakdown maintenance independently.
- Understanding of maintenance safety practices (LOTO, work permits) in an industrial environment.
- Willing to work in shifts and respond to breakdowns as required, based at the Coimbatore factory.
- Reliable, hands-on and methodical, with good record-keeping discipline.
