HEAD OF ADMINISTRATION & FACILITIES

Faridabad, Delhi NCR | On-site | 12–18 years | Reports to the founders

Getting a factory operational in India is mostly a licensing and liaison problem. Approvals, consents, load sanctions, NOCs, inspections — each with its own department, timeline and way of being handled.

We're running existing operations and building new capacity. You'd own both.

Why this sits at head level

New capacity is on the critical path for the entire business. If approvals slip, production capacity slips, and the launch calendar, the supply chain plan and the hiring plan all move with it.

This is also the function where delay is invisible until it's expensive. Nobody notices a consent application sitting in a queue until the month the line was meant to start. We want someone senior enough to see that coming and escalate before it matters — and to know which approvals genuinely gate operations versus which can run in parallel. That sequencing judgement is most of the value.

What you'd build

- New sites from empty to operational: approvals, consents, utilities, fit-out, vendors, handover — run as a programme with a critical path, not a to-do list
- A compliance calendar that renews licences before they lapse rather than after someone notices
- A vendor and AMC framework across utilities, security, housekeeping, canteen and transport, with service levels that mean something and costs that are benchmarked
- Standing relationships across HSIIDC, pollution control, electricity, fire and municipal departments — built before you need them,



not during an inspection
- Infrastructure resilience: power continuity, water, connectivity. Our production doesn't tolerate outages well

You'd own

- Statutory licences, consents and renewals across all our facilities
- The facilities budget — maintenance, utilities, power and DG, water — and genuine cost control over it
- Capital projects for current capacity, with timelines you're accountable for
- Security, access control, housekeeping, canteen and employee transport
- Assets, insurance and AMC contracts
- Travel, visas and visitor hosting across our Dallas and Shenzhen teams and our visiting suppliers
- Government incentive and subsidy applications where we qualify
- The administration team

You need

- 12+ years in factory or industrial administration — not corporate office facilities
- Demonstrated new site commissioning. You've taken a facility from approvals to operational and can walk us through the sequence, the dependencies and where it stalls
- Multi-site responsibility, not a single building
- Real liaison depth with Haryana or NCR government departments
- Budget and capital project ownership with evidence of cost control
- Vendor and contract negotiation
- Team leadership
- Fluent Hindi; working English for documentation
- Persistent, organised, and comfortable chasing a file through a department until it moves

Tell us: one facility you commissioned — the approval sequence, how long it took, where it got stuck and what you did about it. And one recurring facility cost you materially reduced.
