Reports to:
Managing Director
Experience Required:
6 to 9 years in advanced materials or magnetic core manufacturing
Job Summary
We are looking for a strategic and technically proficient
Plant Head
to lead and manage end-to-end operations of our
Nanocrystalline core manufacturing plant
. The ideal candidate will have strong domain expertise in amorphous/nanocrystalline materials and proven leadership in a high-precision, high-purity production environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Plant Operations Management
- Lead full-spectrum plant operations for nanocrystalline core production — including rapid solidification (melt spinning), heat treatment, slitting, annealing, winding, coating, and testing.
- Drive productivity, efficiency, and quality across all shifts and departments.
- Technology & Process Control
- Ensure adherence to tight process controls to maintain nanostructure integrity and magnetic properties.
- Work with R&D and process engineering teams to optimize grain size, stress-relief annealing, and coating for high-performance magnetic cores.
- Quality & Compliance
- Implement and maintain quality systems (e.g., ISO 9001, ISO 14001, RoHS compliance).
- Ensure magnetic property testing (B-H loop, permeability, coercivity, losses) is performed per global standards.
- Ensure product traceability and zero-defect deliveries.
- Maintenance & Reliability
- Oversee maintenance of specialized equipment such as melt-spinning machines, high-temperature furnaces, and magnetic test benches.
- Minimize equipment downtime through predictive and preventive maintenance.
- Leadership & Team Development
- Lead a multidisciplinary team across production, engineering, maintenance, and quality.
- Coach and develop plant staff to build a high-performing workforce.
- Strategic Planning & Execution
- Align plant goals with business strategy in terms of output, quality, cost, and innovation.
- Participate in strategic projects including plant expansions, process automation, and lean initiatives.
- Cost & Inventory Control
- Manage plant budget, raw material inventory (e.g., Fe-based amorphous alloy feedstock), and energy costs.
- Improve cost per unit through yield improvement and process efficiency.
Key Skills And Competencies
- In-depth technical understanding of nanocrystalline/amorphous magnetic materials and manufacturing processes
- Strong leadership and operations management skills
- Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
- Familiarity with Lean, Six Sigma, TPM, and 5S
- ERP knowledge (SAP or similar)
