Key Responsibilities

Shift Operations & Mechanical Maintenance

• Lead mechanical maintenance shift operations for all SMS equipment including EAF, LRF, VD/VOD, CCM, and associated auxiliaries.
• Monitor shift-wise equipment health and take proactive corrective action to prevent breakdown escalation.
• Ensure timely and quality execution of planned preventive maintenance (PPM) schedules for critical rotating and static equipment.
• Coordinate with production/shift supervisors for planned shutdown jobs, ensuring maintenance windows are effectively utilized.
• Supervise maintenance contractors and internal tradesmen (fitters, welders, riggers) for safe and efficient job execution.
• Ensure availability of critical spares at shop floor prior to planned jobs; coordinate with stores for emergency issues.

Maintenance Planning

• Prepare and update weekly and fortnightly mechanical maintenance plans for SMS equipment in alignment with production schedules.
• Create and manage Work Orders (WO) in SAP HANA for all planned and unplanned maintenance jobs.
• Track WO completion status, backlog maintenance jobs, and elevate pending critical jobs to the department manager.
• Coordinate job scheduling across shifts to ensure uniform load distribution and zero conflict with production targets.
• Maintain equipment-wise maintenance history log and update in SAP HANA for future planning reference.
• Ensure calibration and maintenance of critical measuring instruments and tools.

SAP HANA PR, Work Orders & Cost Management

• Raise Purchase Requisitions (PR) in SAP HANA for capital spares, consumables, and maintenance services based on planned requirements and reorder levels.
• Monitor PR processing timelines and follow up with procurement/stores to ensure timely availability of critical materials.
• Track and analyze maintenance costs at shift/monthly level through SAP HANA cost centre reports.
• Ensure accurate posting of man-hours, material consumption, and service entries in SAP HANA for each Work Order.
• Support budget preparation for the SMS maintenance department by providing historical spend data from SAP HANA.
• Drive reduction in maintenance cost through planned vs reactive maintenance ratio improvement and spare life enhancement.

Daily Reporting & MIS

• Prepare and submit shift-end Mechanical Maintenance Report covering equipment breakdown summary with downtime in minutes, planned vs. actual maintenance job completion status, critical observations, near-misses, and safety incidents, manpower deployment vs. availability, spare parts consumed vs. balance at shop floor.
• Compile and present the Daily Maintenance Review (DMR) data to the department manager including KPI tracking MTBF, MTTR, OEE impact, and planned maintenance compliance (PMC).
• Maintain and update equipment-wise daily health sheets, lubrication sheets, and vibration logs.
• Submit cost monitoring reports as per SAP HANA extracts on a weekly/monthly basis.

Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

• Lead RCA for all major/repetitive breakdowns in SMS EAF, electrode regulation system, EAF shell, furnace tilting system, fume extraction system, CCM segments, mould oscillators, and casting platform equipment.
• Apply structured RCA methodologies such as 5-Why Analysis, Fishbone (Ishikawa) Diagram, and FMEA.
• Document findings, root causes, and corrective/preventive actions (CAPA) in SAP HANA Notification system.
• Monitor closure of CAPA actions within committed timelines; present RCA findings in monthly review meetings.
• Identify recurring failures and develop long-term reliability improvement actions to reduce breakdown frequency.
• Coordinate with OEMs, vendors, and technical teams for specialized RCA support on critical failures.

Safety, Compliance & Housekeeping

• Ensure strict compliance with plant safety norms – PTW (Permit to Work), LOTO, working at height, hot metal handling safety, and confined space entry protocols.
• Conduct pre-shift safety briefings and toolbox talks for maintenance tradesmen.
• Ensure zero unsafe acts and conditions in the shift; report and investigate near-misses immediately.
• Maintain 5S housekeeping standards in the maintenance workshop and EAF bay.
• Comply with statutory and regulatory requirements related to boiler, pressure vessels, and crane maintenance.
