- Operate induction melting furnace (2 melting + 1 holding) full shift cycle
- Charge copper cathodes and Cu-P master alloy as per recipe and chemistry requirement
- Control melt chemistry Cu 99.9%, Phosphorus: 0.015%0.040%
- Remove dross from melt surface twice per shift — prevent oxide contamination
- Monitor and log all furnace parameters every 30 minutes — power, N pressure, cooling water
- Transfer molten metal to holding furnace via launders — monitor launder temperature
- Charge dry, traceable plant return scrap — confirm dry and oil-free before charging
- Coordinate with Cast House Lab for spectrometer chemistry results — 16 tests per shift
- Complete accurate shift log and handover — no gaps, no blank fields

- Induction furnace operation — startup, steady-state, shutdown sequence




- Melt chemistry control — Cu purity and phosphorus content management
- Cu-P master alloy weighing and addition — exact quantities every time
- Dross recognition and secure removal — prevent oxide contamination
- Cooling water and N pressure monitoring — alarm response
- Molten metal launder transfer — temperature control
- Log sheet discipline — 30-minute parameter entries — no gaps
- High-temperature PPE compliance — aluminized PPE usage

- 3 to 8 years in induction furnace, foundry or non-ferrous metal melting plant
- Hands-on experience in copper, aluminium or brass melting — preferred
- Understanding of melt chemistry control, dross removal and launder operation
