Plant Head ( CT,PT & core transformers )

Job Title: Plant Head – Nano Products (CT, PT & Core Transformers)

Location: Vadodara
Reports to: Managing Director

Job Summary:

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. The role includes managing production, quality, maintenance, supply chain, and engineering functions to ensure timely delivery, cost control, and adherence to quality standards. This leadership position requires strong technical expertise in CT/PT/core production and proven experience managing end-to-end plant operations.

Key Responsibilities:1. Overall Plant Operations

• Lead the manufacturing unit producing LV/MV/HV Current Transformers (CTs), Potential Transformers (PTs), and magnetic cores.
• Ensure achievement of daily, monthly, and annual production and dispatch targets.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams (Production, QC, Design, Planning, SCM, Maintenance).

2. Production Management

• Oversee CT/PT manufacturing processes, including winding, core assembly, epoxy/resin casting, vacuum drying, testing, and calibration.
• Optimize workflows to reduce cycle time, increase throughput, and minimize waste.
• Drive lean manufacturing, 5S, and TPM initiatives across the shop floor.

3. Quality & Testing

• Ensure compliance with relevant standards (e.g., IS, IEC, ANSI) for instrument transformers.
• Oversee testing protocols like insulation resistance (IR), ratio error, burden, partial discharge, etc.
• Lead root cause analysis and CAPA for internal and customer complaints.

4. Design & Engineering Coordination

• Work closely with R&D and Design teams for new product development (NPD) and customization.
• Review drawings, BOMs, and specifications for manufacturability and cost optimization.

5. Maintenance & Utilities

• Ensure preventive maintenance and minimal breakdown of critical equipment such as:
• Vacuum casting machines
• Resin mixing and dispensing units
• Coil winding machines
• Testing setups (automatic/manual)
• Oversee utility management: DG sets, compressors, HVAC (if required).

6. Supply Chain & Inventory

• Coordinate with SCM and procurement to ensure timely availability of raw materials like CRGO cores, resins, copper wires, bushings, and enclosures.
• Maintain inventory levels and reduce working capital without disrupting production.

7. Manpower & Team Leadership

• Lead and develop production supervisors, engineers, and floor staff.
• Conduct regular training on safety, SOPs, and quality procedures.
• Build a performance-driven and collaborative culture within the plant.

8. Safety, Compliance & Audits

• Ensure adherence to EHS standards, ISO 9001/14001/45001 (as applicable).
• Manage internal and external audits – customer, ISO, statutory.
• Ensure factory complies with labour, environmental, and electrical safety regulations.

9. Strategic Planning & Reporting

• Monitor KPIs: OEE, yield, delivery performance, quality cost, downtime.
• Report regularly to top management on plant performance, challenges, and opportunities.
• Participate in budgeting, capex planning, and long-term capacity expansion.

Key Requirements:

• Education: B.E./B.Tech in Electrical / Mechanical / Electronics Engineering; MBA (Operations) is a plus.
• Experience: 8–10 years in instrument transformer manufacturing (CTs, PTs, cores), with at least 5+ years in a plant leadership role.
• Skills:
• Strong knowledge of CT/PT design, production processes, and industry standards (IS/IEC/ANSI).
• Excellent leadership, planning, and decision-making capabilities.
• Familiarity with ERP systems, shop floor digitization, and lean tools.
• Good understanding of testing standards and calibration protocols.
