• Line Loss Prevention: Rapidly troubleshoot and resolve utility failures to ensure zero line loss or disruption to the main automotive manufacturing floor.

• Energy & EHS Compliance: Maintain environmental, health, and safety (EHS) norms by ensuring zero liquid discharge (ZLD) in Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP) and implementing Lockout/Tagout protocols.

• Energy Management: Monitor and optimize power and fuel consumption, driving energy-saving (Kaizen) initiatives.
• Spares & Inventory: Manage critical spares inventory and coordinate with external vendors for Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC).

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Utility Uptime: Maintain near-100 % availability of critical plant utilities.
• Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF): Increase the duration between utility system breakdowns.
• Mean Time to Repair (MTTR): Minimize the time required to restore utility operations during breakdowns.
• Energy Consumption Rate: Reduce specific energy consumption per unit manufactured.

Qualifications & Skills

• Education: Diploma or B.E./B.Tech in Electrical, Mechanical, or Instrumentation Engineering.
• Experience: Typically 3 to 10+ years managing heavy industrial utilities in automotive, sheet metal, or continuous-process manufacturing.
