Job Role : AGM - Operations
Location : Bangalore

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Operations leadership & delivery

- Own end-to-end delivery performance across Assembly, Fabrication, and Production Planning — output, on-time delivery, and schedule adherence
- Manage the Head of Assembly Operations and the functional leads for Fabrication and Production Planning; set transparent targets and hold each accountable
- Track and report operations KPIs — output vs. plan, delay root causes, and recovery actions
- Maintain real-time visibility of work-in-progress across every active project through consolidated operational dashboards, and escalate delivery risks early
- Resolve capacity and priority conflicts between Fabrication and Assembly, sequencing work to protect overall project delivery rather than any single function's output

Production planning & scheduling

- Own the master production schedule, translating sales orders and project timelines into an integrated fabrication-to-assembly plan
- Ensure production plans reflect realistic capacity, material availability, and drawing readiness before committing dates to customers and leadership
- Drive disciplined change control when schedules slip — root-causing delays, re-sequencing work, and communicating revised commitments early
- Build and maintain rolling capacity forecasts across Fabrication and Assembly to flag bottlenecks ahead of time, not after they hit

Quality & safety

- Own first-pass quality out of Fabrication and Assembly — defect rates, rework, and non-conformances; work closely with the Quality GM to close gaps
- Ensure all shop-floor work is executed against current, approved engineering drawings, BOMs, and work instructions
- Own and enforce a safe working environment across Fabrication and Assembly: safety protocols, incident reporting, and near-miss culture
- Ensure functional leads are actively managing quality and safety on the floor, not just output

Cost & resource management





- Own the operations cost envelope per project across Fabrication and Assembly — track budgeted vs. actual labour hours, investigate variances, and drive corrective actions
- Develop and maintain standard hours libraries for Fabrication and Assembly, refined continuously as processes and products mature
- Manage overtime and manpower deployment across functions; authorise where justified, reallocate where possible, and report to the GM of Operations with clear rationale
- Monitor and control shop-floor overhead costs — consumables, tooling, and direct operational expenses — against budget

Cross-functional coordination

- Serve as the primary interface from shop-floor operations to Supply Chain, Quality, and Engineering — flagging material shortfalls, drawing issues, and design-for-manufacture concerns
- Coordinate closely with Purchasing and Warehouse Operations on material availability and delivery
- Partner with Engineering to ensure Fabrication and Assembly teams have correct, current drawings, BOMs, and work instructions ahead of each production start
- Participate in project budgeting — provide labour hour estimates, resource planning inputs, and operations cost assumptions for new orders

People, process & continuous improvement

- Build and embed a culture of structured operations across Fabrication and Assembly: 5S, visual factory standards, standardised work cells, tool control, and defined work instructions
- Develop the Head of Assembly Operations and the Fabrication and Production Planning leads — set clear expectations, coach on management practices, and build a pipeline of floor leadership
- Lead a continuous improvement agenda across functions: identify waste, reduce rework, improve throughput, and document gains as repeatable standard work
- Establish the KPI dashboards, cadence, and review rhythm that makes performance visible and accountable across Fabrication, Assembly, and Production Planning
