Role & responsibilities

- Execute preventive and predictive maintenance schedules for tyre manufacturing equipment to maximise uptime and production continuity.

- Attend mechanical breakdowns, troubleshoot faults, restore equipment safely, and minimise MTTR.

- Monitor and improve MTBF, equipment availability, maintenance compliance, and repeat-failure trends.

- Perform root-cause analysis and implement corrective and preventive actions for chronic failures.

- Maintain mixers, mills, calenders, extruders, bead machines, tyre-building machines, conveyors, presses, curing equipment, material-handling systems, and associated utilities, as applicable.

- Troubleshoot hydraulic, pneumatic, lubrication, bearing, gearbox, coupling, chain, belt, piping, pump, valve, and rotating-equipment issues.

- Plan and execute shutdown, overhauling, alignment, installation, commissioning, and modification activities.

- Use condition-monitoring methods such as vibration, temperature, oil, noise, and visual inspection to identify potential failures.

- Prepare maintenance work orders, equipment history, checklists, spare-part requirements, and technical reports in SAP/CMMS or equivalent systems.

- Control critical spares,



consumables, tools, and maintenance costs while preventing stock-outs.

- Support TPM, 5S, Kaizen, failure elimination, energy saving, and reliability-improvement initiatives.

- Ensure compliance with permit-to-work, LOTO, machine guarding, statutory, EHS, and quality requirements.

- Coordinate with Production and cross-functional teams for maintenance windows, trials, and process improvements.

- Guide technicians and contractors, verify job quality, and ensure secure work completion.

Preferred candidate profile

- Diploma / B.E. / B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering from a recognised institution.

- Engineer: typically 36 years of relevant mechanical maintenance experience.

- Senior Engineer: typically 6–10 years of relevant experience, including ownership of maintenance activities or team coordination.

- Experience in tyre, rubber, automotive, process, or continuous manufacturing is preferred; direct tyre manufacturing maintenance experience will be an advantage.

- Willingness to work in rotational shifts and attend plant emergencies when required.
