Plant head (CT / PT & Core)

The Plant Head will be responsible for overseeing the entire manufacturing operations of a facility producing nano and medium-voltage instrument transformers, such as CTs, PTs, and transformer cores. You will be leading the manufacturing unit producing LV/MV/HV Current Transformers (CTs), Potential Transformers (PTs), and magnetic cores. Your role includes managing production, quality, maintenance, supply chain, and engineering functions to ensure timely delivery, cost control, and adherence to quality standards. You will need to ensure the achievement of daily, monthly, and annual production and dispatch targets, and coordinate with cross-functional teams (Production, QC, Design, Planning, SCM, Maintenance). You will oversee CT/PT manufacturing processes, including winding, core assembly, epoxy/resin casting, vacuum drying, testing, and calibration. It will be your responsibility to optimize workflows to reduce cycle time, increase throughput, and minimize waste. Additionally, you will drive lean manufacturing, 5S, and TPM initiatives across the shop floor and ensure compliance with relevant standards (e.g., IS, IEC, ANSI) for instrument transformers. In terms of Design & Engineering Coordination, you will work closely with R&D and Design teams for new product development (NPD) and customization. You will review drawings, BOMs, and specifications for manufacturability and cost optimization. Maintenance & Utilities will also be under your purview, where you will ensure preventive maintenance and minimal breakdown of critical equipment, oversee utility management, and coordinate with SCM and procurement for timely availability of raw materials. Leading and developing production supervisors, engineers, and floor staff will be crucial. You will conduct regular training on safety, SOPs, and quality procedures, and build a performance-driven and collaborative culture within the plant. Safety, Compliance & Audits are also part of your responsibilities, where you ensure adherence to EHS standards, ISO certifications, and manage internal and external audits. Strategic Planning & Reporting will be essential in your role, where you will monitor KPIs and report regularly to top management on plant performance, challenges, and opportunities. The ideal candidate should have a B.E./B.Tech in Electrical / Mechanical / Electronics Engineering; an MBA (Operations) is a plus. You should have 8 to 10 years of experience in instrument transformer manufacturing, with at least 5+ years in a plant leadership role. Strong knowledge of CT/PT design, production processes, and industry standards, as well as familiarity with ERP systems and lean tools, are required for this position.,
