Hi-CON Technocast is a lost wax investment casting foundry working in carbon and stainless steel, duplex and super duplex, Inconel, Monel and Hastelloy, supplying valve, pump, oil and gas and turbomachinery customers in India, Europe and the USA. Macwell Auto Engineering, our sister company, manufactures taper roller bearings. Both operate from one campus at Metoda GIDC, Rajkot. The workforce is blue-collar heavy with a substantial white-collar and engineering team.

The role

You will own HR end to end for both companies — a single seat with real authority, reporting to the Directors. This is not a support role inside a larger HR department. There is no HR department above you and no external consultant behind you.

What you will own

1. Statutory compliance, run independently. PF, ESIC, Qualified Tax, Labour Welfare Fund, Bonus, Gratuity, Factories Act and the Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act. Monthly challans and returns, annual and half-yearly returns, statutory registers, licence renewals and amendments, inspection notices and their closure. We do not use external compliance consultants and do not intend to start.
2. Industrial relations and contract labour. Contractor onboarding and compliance, gate passes, contract workmen welfare and safety, grievance handling, disciplinary action including charge sheets and domestic enquiries, and direct liaison with the Factory Inspector, Labour Officer, and PF and ESIC authorities.
3. Payroll and time office. End-to-end payroll on an HRMS (GreytHR, Spine, Saral or similar), wage administration, attendance and overtime, leave management, and full and final settlements.
4. Recruitment. Shop floor to leadership, across both companies — moulders, melters, machinists,



QA and engineering, and management roles.
5. Employee lifecycle. Onboarding and induction, confirmation, performance management, training and development, employee engagement, and exits.

What we are looking for

- 7 to 15 years in HR, the majority of it inside a manufacturing plant. Foundry, investment casting, bearings, auto components, forging or machining experience is strongly preferred.
- You must have personally filed PF, ESIC, PT and LWF returns — not supervised a consultant who filed them.
- Direct experience managing contract labour and facing a factory or labour inspection.
- Fluent Gujarati for shop floor communication. Hindi and working English for management and customer audits.
- Based in Rajkot, or genuinely willing to settle here. This is an on-site plant role at Metoda GIDC; it cannot be done remotely or from Ahmedabad.

Two things we ask you to do in your application We have read a lot of HR profiles recently, and two things make the difference between a shortlist and a pass:

- Give exact months and years for every employer. We care more about how long you stayed somewhere than about your job titles. Applications without dates will not be shortlisted.
- Name the statutory acts you personally handle. The phrase "statutory compliance" on its own tells us nothing. Write PF, ESIC, PT, LWF, Bonus, Gratuity, Factories Act, CLRA — whichever you actually do.

What we offer

- ₹7,00,000+ per annum, set by demonstrated statutory ownership and by your tenure record rather than by your current CTC. A single-owner HR seat across two growing manufacturing companies, direct access to the Directors, and a long runway — we are looking for someone who will build this function over years.
