• Team Leadership & Staffing: Lead, train, and schedule shift supervisors, machine operators, melters, and mold makers.
• Equipment & Maintenance Oversight: Coordinate with maintenance departments to execute preventive maintenance on furnaces, automated lines, and handling systems to boost Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
• Cost & Yield Management: Track metal recovery, conversion costs, energy/fuel usage, and raw material consumption against established plant budgets.
• Safety & Compliance (EHS): Enforce strict safety protocols around molten metal, high-heat equipment, PPE compliance, and workplace house-keeping (5S).
Qualification & Experience
Education: Bachelor’s degree (B.E. / B.Tech) in Metallurgical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Production Engineering, or Foundry Technology (or a technical diploma with extensive hands-on experience).
Experience: More than 5+ years in manufacturing, with a strong background in foundry operations (such as sand casting, investment casting, or die casting) and 3+ years in a leadership role.
