Engineer Production

Role Overview

Production Planning and Process Optimization

• Develop and optimize manufacturing processes including material handling, welding, forming, and finishing.
• Align production schedules with project timelines, delivery deadlines, and available resources.
• Maximize machinery, equipment, and labor utilization while minimizing waste.
• Implement lean manufacturing practices to reduce lead times and eliminate waste.

Quality Assurance and Control

• Ensure compliance with standards such as IS 2713 and IS 1239.
• Establish and oversee QC checks during material selection, fabrication, welding, galvanization, and finishing.
• Supervise physical and mechanical tests including strength, corrosion resistance, and dimensional checks.
• Identify defects and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

Inspection and Compliance

• Verify quality and specifications of raw materials such as steel pipes, plates, and fittings.
• Monitor in-process production including welding, dimensional accuracy, and alignment.
• Inspect finished poles for length, diameter, straightness, thickness, galvanization quality, and surface defects.
• Coordinate with third-party inspectors and certifying agencies before dispatch.

Maintenance and Equipment Management

• Maintain manufacturing equipment such as bending machines, welding units, and galvanization plants.
• Develop preventive maintenance schedules to minimize breakdowns.
• Ensure accuracy of equipment and tools used for inspections and measurements.

Health, Safety, and Environmental Compliance

• Implement and enforce workplace safety protocols for heavy machinery, welding, and chemical processes.
• Ensure factory compliance with environmental regulations for emissions, waste management, and hazardous materials.

Supply Chain and Cost Control

• Manage inventory of raw materials such as steel and consumables.
• Coordinate with suppliers for timely delivery of high-quality raw materials.
• Monitor production costs and identify savings without compromising quality.
• Continuously improve processes to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

New Product Development and Documentation

• Support prototype development and design modifications with design and R&D teams.
• Maintain production data records including output rates, quality issues, and downtime analysis.
• Prepare inspection reports covering defects, corrective actions, and test results.

Client Interaction and Technical Support

• Understand client specifications for custom pole designs and specialized coatings.
• Provide technical support to clients during factory inspections and clarify discrepancies.

Key Skills and Qualifications

• Strong knowledge of metallurgy and fabrication processes.
• Proficiency in welding technologies, galvanization, and NDT techniques.
• Experience with quality assurance, inspection protocols, and compliance standards.
• Ability to handle production planning, machinery maintenance, and cost control.
• Familiarity with IS 2713 and IS 1239 standards.
• Diploma preferred; about one year of total work experience preferred; day shift availability preferred.
