Location: Jhajjar, Haryana

Summary:

We are looking for an accomplished manufacturing leader to spearhead end-to-end operations at a state-of-the-art engineering manufacturing facility in India.

This is a strategic leadership opportunity for a seasoned professional who can build, scale and transform manufacturing operations while driving operational excellence, strengthening the supply chain and developing a high-performance organisational culture.

Key Responsibilities:

- Lead end-to-end factory operations covering manufacturing, assembly, quality, supply chain, procurement, maintenance, EHS and facilities.
- Drive operational excellence across safety, quality, cost and delivery through robust systems, SOPs and performance metrics.
- Build, mentor and lead a robust cross-functional leadership team, fostering accountability and a performance-driven shop-floor culture.
- Develop a reliable supplier ecosystem, with a particular focus on identifying and nurturing suppliers across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
- Lead strategic manufacturing transformation initiatives, including the transition of manufacturing capabilities from overseas facilities to India.
- Leverage ERP platforms, digital dashboards, automation and shop-floor technology to enhance productivity and operational visibility.




- Collaborate with international stakeholders and ensure effective coordination between Indian manufacturing operations and overseas headquarters.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

- Engineering degree from a reputed, premier engineering institution.
- Strong understanding of end-to-end factory operations, extending beyond production and manufacturing.
- Exposure to CNC/ VMC machining, automation, ERP systems and digital manufacturing practices.
- Demonstrated ability to establish operational systems, drive process improvements and build high-performing teams.
- Excellent stakeholder management, communication and problem-solving capabilities.

Building a manufacturing facility is an achievement. Building a world-class manufacturing ecosystem that can compete globally, scale sustainably and develop its own capabilities is a different challenge altogether.
