  28 batches per month

  is met by minimizing shutdown time and non-process time through effective planning and coordination with the maintenance team.

• Material and Capacity Management:

  Oversee the supervisors' activities to ensure the accurate physical weighing, counting, and loading of raw material to meet the target capacity of

  10+ tonnes per batch

  .

• Process Optimization:

  Identify process bottlenecks and suggest improvements to increase overall plant productivity.

• Oil and Gas Control:

  Ensure the proper measurement, recording, and consumption control of oil, and oversee the transfer of extra gas to the balloon plant to prevent venting.

2. Safety, Compliance, and Quality Assurance

• Enforce Safety Protocols:

  Ensure supervisors strictly enforce all safety guidelines, company policies, and procedures, including mandatory presence during critical operations (e.g., carbon door opening, burner startup).

• Permit and Compliance Oversight:

  Guarantee that work does not begin without a valid

  HOT WORK PERMIT

• Quality Control:

  Supervise the accurate weighing and recording of output materials (carbon, steel) and ensure carbon samples are sent to the laboratory for testing and tagged according to the lab report.

• Equipment Readiness:

  Verify that all equipment (reactors, nitrogen plant, instruments) is fit for operation, properly maintained, and functioning, including the calibration schedule of all instruments.

3. Team Leadership & Supervision

• Supervisory Management:

  Lead, mentor, and manage a team of 9 Production Supervisors, ensuring they effectively perform their daily duties.

4. Maintenance and Resource Coordination

• Maintenance Planning:

  Oversee the supervisors' efforts to schedule, follow, and coordinate reactor general maintenance (at least

  once a month

  ) as per SOP.

• Breakdown Management:

  Assess critical situations immediately, and coordinate effectively with the maintenance, safety, and production teams to resolve issues quickly.

• Resource Availability:

  Ensure the necessary tools, equipment, and consumables are available for continuous operation.

🎯 Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Chemical, Mechanical, or Production Engineering (or related field).
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in a supervisory or management role within a batch processing or heavy industrial environment.
• Proven experience managing a large team, preferably supervising other supervisors or engineers.
• Strong knowledge of industrial safety procedures, maintenance scheduling, and quality control.
• Excellent coordination, communication, and problem-solving skills.
