Job description

About the Role

We are looking for a B.Tech/Diploma Mechanical professional to join our Spinning Maintenance team. The role involves ensuring the reliable and efficient operation of spinning machinery through preventive maintenance, breakdown troubleshooting, machine inspection, repairs and continuous improvement.

The position is a shop-floor engineering role that requires a combination of technical knowledge, hands‑on understanding of mechanical equipment and coordination with maintenance and production teams.

Key Responsibilities

1. Mechanical Maintenance & Troubleshooting

• Carry out and supervise preventive, predictive and breakdown maintenance of spinning machinery and associated mechanical equipment.
• Inspect equipment to identify mechanical faults, abnormal conditions, worn‑out components and potential breakdown risks.
• Troubleshoot mechanical issues and ensure timely restoration of machines to minimize production downtime.
• Coordinate with maintenance technicians/fitter teams during dismantling, repair, replacement and reassembly of machine components.
• Ensure proper machine alignment, fitment, adjustment, lubrication and trial runs after maintenance.

2. Spinning Machinery Maintenance

• Handle maintenance activities for various textile/spinning machines, including:
  • Ring Frames
  • Gill Boxes
  • Auto Coners
  • Doubling Machines
  • TFO (Two-for-One Twister)
  • Other associated spinning machinery and equipment.
• Develop a practical understanding of machine mechanisms, critical components and operating parameters.
• Monitor machine condition and identify opportunities to improve equipment reliability and performance.

3. Preventive Maintenance & Reliability

• Execute maintenance schedules and ensure timely completion of planned maintenance activities.
• Monitor recurring breakdowns and participate in Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to identify and eliminate underlying causes.
• Support initiatives aimed at improving machine availability, reliability and reduction in downtime.
• Maintain appropriate records of breakdowns, maintenance activities, component replacements and machine performance.
• Monitor maintenance‑related parameters such as breakdown frequency, downtime, MTBF and MTTR, wherever applicable.

4. Maintenance Planning & Coordination

• Coordinate with the Production team for planned maintenance, breakdown resolution and machine availability.
• Plan maintenance activities, manpower requirements and availability of critical spares in coordination with the maintenance team.
• Coordinate with stores/purchase and external service providers for required spares, repairs and maintenance support.
• Support installation, modification and improvement projects related to mechanical equipment.

5. Team & Shop‑Floor Coordination

• Guide and coordinate with technicians, fitters and other maintenance personnel during maintenance and breakdown activities.
• Ensure maintenance work is carried out safely, correctly and within the required timeline.
• Maintain effective communication with production and other departments to resolve equipment‑related issues.

6. Continuous Improvement & Safety

• Identify opportunities for improving machine performance, reducing breakdowns and increasing maintenance efficiency.
• Participate in 5S, TPM, Kaizen and other continuous improvement initiatives, as applicable.
• Ensure adherence to safe maintenance practices, use of appropriate tools and compliance with plant safety procedures.

Hands‑on Technical Exposure

The role requires willingness to work closely with machinery and maintenance teams on the shop floor. The candidate should be comfortable with practical aspects of mechanical maintenance, including:

• Machine inspection and fault identification
• Dismantling and reassembly of mechanical components
• Mechanical fitting and adjustments
• Bearing, shaft, coupling and other component replacement
• Alignment and machine setting
• Lubrication and servicing
• Basic mechanical repair and restoration
• Machine testing and trial runs after maintenance

Educational Qualification

• B.Tech / B.E. in Mechanical Engineering preferred.
• Diploma in Mechanical Engineering may also be considered depending on relevant experience and technical exposure.

Experience

• 0-3 years of experience in mechanical maintenance/manufacturing is preferred.
• Fresh B.Tech Mechanical candidates with strong technical fundamentals and willingness to work on the shop floor may also be considered.
• Experience in textile/spinning machinery maintenance will be an added advantage.
