• Troubleshooting:

  Identify and resolve operational issues, deviations, or equipment malfunctions promptly to minimize downtime.

• Safety & Compliance:

  Ensure all shift activities strictly adhere to safety protocols, environmental regulations, and standard operating procedures (SOPs), especially for molten metal and hot surfaces. Conduct regular safety checks and toolbox talks.

• Resource Management:

  Coordinate charging of copper cathodes, managing furnace operations, and ensuring smooth flow to casting. Manage shift resources effectively.

• Quality Control:

  Ensure product quality parameters (e.g., rod diameter, surface finish) are met and coordinate with the QC lab for sample analysis.

• Reporting:

  Prepare accurate shift production reports, log operational data, and communicate critical information to the Head of CCR Operations and relieving shift.

• Team Leadership:

  Provide guidance, training, and performance feedback to shift personnel. Foster teamwork and a proactive approach.

• Coordination:

  Liaise with the Maintenance team for equipment repairs and preventive maintenance activities planned during the shift.
