Job description

We’re Hiring: Engineering & Maintenance Manager

Technymon Technology India Pvt. Ltd. (TTI) · Belur Industrial Area, Dharwad, Karnataka · Full-time, on-site

About Technymon

Technymon designs and manufactures composite sliding bushings and bearings, fibre-wound and plastic bushings, and technical textiles for automotive, industrial, oil and gas, and aerospace customers in India and abroad. We are strengthening our plant organisation and creating this new senior role to own machine reliability, process performance and capacity.

The role

You will make sure our machines run reliably, at the right speed and to their full practical capacity. You will lead maintenance, process engineering and tooling, and report to the Plant Manager.

Key responsibilities

Maintenance and reliability

• Build and run the preventive maintenance system: machine-wise schedules, checklists, history records and compliance tracking.
• Eliminate repeat breakdowns through structured root-cause analysis (why-why, fishbone, FMEA).
• Manage mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic maintenance.
• Maintain critical spares and consumables, and manage the maintenance budget and service contractors.
• Ensure safe maintenance practice, including lock-out/tag-out and statutory equipment checks.

Machine productivity and capacity

• Establish the achievable output and standard cycle time for every machine and product family.
• Measure machine-wise OEE on the bottleneck machines and own equipment-related losses: breakdowns, speed losses, minor stoppages and tooling issues.
• Improve operating speeds, cycle times and changeover methods with Production.
• Increase capacity from existing machinery before new investment.
• Control process parameters and tooling condition across forming, sintering, plating and finishing.

TPM and improvement

• Introduce TPM and train operators in daily cleaning, lubrication and inspection.
• Drive 5S and continuous improvement in maintenance and engineering areas.

Projects

• Lead installation, commissioning and upgrades of machines, and specify new equipment with the Technical team.

Team

• Lead the maintenance supervisors, technicians and process/tooling engineer, with clear targets and accountability.
• Work closely with Production, PPC, Quality and Stores.

Must-have capabilities

• Hands-on technical depth in mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic and PLC-controlled equipment.
• A proven move from reactive to preventive maintenance, with measurable results such as reduced breakdowns, improved MTBF or improved availability.
• Root-cause problem solving: a record of eliminating repeat failures, not just repairing them.
• Working with data: has measured OEE or MTBF/MTTR and used it to set priorities.
• Practical TPM or Lean implementation, not only training.
• People leadership of supervisors and technicians across shifts.
• Involvement in designing and suggesting new machines and improvements
• Metal forming and stamping machines; hydraulic and mechanical presses
• Rolling mills and calendering machines
• Metal slitting and chamfering lines
• Industrial furnaces and sintering lines
• Bronze and zinc plating lines
• Tool room machines and automated production equipment

Qualifications and experience

• BE / BTech in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
• 10–15 years in manufacturing, preferably automotive Tier 1 or precision engineering.
• At least 5 years leading a maintenance or engineering team.

What we offer

• A newly created role with real ownership and direct visibility to the leadership team.
• The chance to build the reliability and improvement system of a growing manufacturer.
• Compensation: competitive, based on experience
