Job description

Purpose of the Role

We're looking for a proactive, detail-oriented Operations Executive to join our production team. You'll own the day-to-day flow of materials into the production line keeping inventory accurate, stock levels optimized, and cross-team coordination seamless. It's a strong fit for someone who enjoys structured problem-solving and wants to see the direct, visible result of their work in how smoothly the plant runs.

What You'll Own

Production & Inventory Operations

• Manage production operations to ensure materials are processed and moved on time
• Monitor and maintain stock levels to prevent both shortages and excess inventory sitting idle
• Handle inventory management end to end - stock reconciliation and material tracking

Coordination & Continuous Improvement

• Coordinate closely with production and other internal teams to keep production activity uninterrupted
• Identify and drive improvements in operational and inventory processes - this role is expected to spot inefficiencies, not just report them
• Support broader continuous improvement initiatives within production operations

Documentation & Reporting

• Prepare and maintain production, inventory, and stock movement reports
• Ensure accurate, audit-ready documentation of all purchase-related activity and inventory records
• Follow company policies and SOPs consistently while carrying out day-to-day operational activities

What We're Looking For

• Education: Diploma / B.E. / B.Tech in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering
• Experience: Minimum 1+ years in production, inventory management, stores, or production operations - background in fish feed, poultry, or animal feed preferred
• Someone who notices when a stock number looks off and chases it down, rather than waiting for it to become a production problem
• Comfortable being the person production turns to when material timing is tight - calm under pressure, not just accurate when things are quiet
• A natural process thinker - sees a repeated inefficiency and proposes a fix, rather than working around it quietly every time
• Reliable with follow-through - flags a shortage or delay early rather than hoping it resolves itself
• Comfortable coordinating across production, and stores teams, where priorities don't always line up neatly
• Organized under real-world conditions - able to keep records and reports current even during a busy production week, not just when things are calm

Skills & Competencies

Required Skills

• Good working knowledge of stock and inventory management
• Understanding of manpower handling and material planning processes
• Ability to spot and drive improvements in operational and process efficiency
• Knowledge of production coordination and material flow
• Strong reporting and documentation skills
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and other MS Office applications
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills
• Good communication and coordination abilities
• Hindi proficiency is mandatory; English and Kannada are an added advantage

Preferred Skill

• Hands-on experience with Automatic Reeling Machines (ARM) is an added advantage

What’s in it for you

• Compensation that matches your worth - best in industry, benchmarked to industry standards, not lowballed
• Real financial security - PF, ESI/insurance, and other benefits as per company policy, so you're covered beyond just the paycheck
• Travel taken care of - company travel policy covers you, so field/site visits don't come out of your pocket

How We Work at Loopworm

• Freedom and responsibility - we tell you the outcome and the constraints, then get out of your way. No micromanagement. You own the result.
• Honesty over comfort - bad news should travel fast. We'd rather hear about a problem the day it happens than a polished story a month later.
• Numbers, not opinions - decisions are made on data; bring the arithmetic with your proposal
