Role & responsibilities

- Convert the order book into an executable monthly production plan and commit despatch dates against customer delivery schedules.
- Drive the unit from its present partial-commissioning state to the 150 MT per month target through layout, manpower deployment, shift design and bottleneck elimination.
- Lead commissioning and productionisation of the SLTL 6 kW fibre laser, the JFY 2,250 kN press brake,

the SNE 38 CNC tube bender and the Blastclean pass-through shot blast and painting line, including operator training and cycle-time establishment.
- Own manufacturing cost per tonne. Control consumable, gas, electrode, wire, abrasive, paint and power consumption against issued norms and report monthly variance.
- Control plate and section yield. Approve nesting plans, monitor scrap and offcut recovery, and hold yield against the standard released by Design.
- Chair the daily production meeting: plan versus actual, WIP ageing, hold and rework status, manpower attendance and next-24-hour commitments.
- Build and lead the shop organisation - recruit, induct, skill-map, train and appraise engineers,

supervisors, welders, fitters, grinders, blasters, painters and operators.
- Own preventive and breakdown maintenance for cranes, welding plant,



compressors, CNC equipment,

blasting and painting plant and utilities; maintain equipment history and spares minimum levels.
- Own the L&T; vendor evaluation submission and comparable customer qualification packs - company and QC organograms, QMS procedures, equipment and calibration lists, welder and QC inspector lists,

past project record, storage and facility declarations.
- Provide and maintain the customer-facing facilities required at qualification: seating for the customer QC and third-party inspector, computer, printer, scanner and internet connectivity.
- Enforce material traceability discipline - heat numbers, mill test certificates and identification transfer at every cutting operation, by hard punch or low-stress punch as the specification requires.
- Manage the plant operating budget, capital proposals and monthly MIS to the Chief Operating Officer.
- Drive 5S, Lean and continuous improvement, with root-cause analysis and closed-loop corrective action on every internal rejection and customer complaint.
