ACCOUNT ASSISTANT-ESSESS

Primary Responsibilities

• Oversee daily foundry operations including melting, mould preparation, pouring, fettling, and inspection.
• Ensure adherence to casting process parameters (temperature, pouring rate, sand/chemical composition, etc.).
• Plan and monitor production schedules to meet casting targets with minimal delays.
• Maintain strict control over metal charging practice (brass, zinc alloys, additives) to achieve required compositions.
• Supervise moulding sand preparation, testing, and control (moisture, permeability, strength).
• Ensure proper mould/core handling to avoid breakage and dimensional defects.
• Optimize fettling and finishing operations to reduce cycle time and improve surface finish.
  

• Work with Quality team to reduce casting defects such as porosity, shrinkage, cold shuts, and blowholes.
• Conduct root cause analysis for casting rejections and implement corrective/preventive actions.
• Regularly check casting dimensional accuracy and surface finish against drawings/specifications.
• Maintain process documentation and quality records for audits and certifications (ISO/IS standards).
• Support new product development trials by preparing prototype castings.
  

• Monitor and maintain pattern, core box, and die conditions to ensure dimensional accuracy of castings.
• Coordinate with maintenance team to ensure uptime of melting furnaces, moulding machines, and fettling equipment.
• Work closely with tooling/design team for pattern modifications to improve castability.
  

• Track consumption of raw materials, fluxes, chemicals, and fuels, ensuring optimal usage and minimal wastage.
• Monitor yield and metal recovery percentages, suggesting process improvements for cost savings.
• Monitor foundry consumables inventory and coordinate with purchase/stores for timely availability.
  

• Prepare and present daily/weekly/monthly performance reports (production, rejection, cost)
• Train and guide shop-floor operators/workers on best casting practices and safety norms.
• Conduct daily review meetings with operators for problem-solving and performance tracking.
