Daily Plant Operations
● Oversee daily production activities and ensure smooth workflow.

● Manage operators, technicians, and contract manpower across shifts.
● Resolve day-to-day issues and maintain team discipline.
● Keep senior management updated on plant performance.
Process Improvement

What We're Looking For
● 5–8 years of experience in manufacturing/industrial plant operations (3–5 years with strong ownership also considered).
● Diploma or Bachelor's in Mechanical, Electrical, Industrial, or Production Engineering — or equivalent proven experience without a formal engineering degree.
● Experience in metals/wires/cables/fabrication is a strong advantage, but not required.
● Solid understanding of plant maintenance cycles, production workflows, and operational best practices.
● Comfortable handling day-to-day coordination and documentation.
● Working English for reports and calls with management — you do not need to be fluent; conversational + written is enough.
Key Skills & Traits
● Detail-oriented — committed to getting things right with minimal errors.
● Clear communicator — able to simplify technical issues for teams and management.
● Leadership & people skills — strong at coordination, teamwork, and conflict handling.
● Proactive — anticipates challenges and solves problems before they escalate.
● Adaptable — thrives in a fast-paced, changing plant environment.
● Ownership mindset — takes responsibility for the plant running efficiently.
Why Join Us
