  • Optimize utilization of manpower, machines, and resources while maintaining inventory levels and minimizing downtime.
  • Champion quality and safety by enforcing standards, conducting inspections, addressing issues promptly, and fostering accountability across the team.

  • Collaborate with maintenance teams to ensure reliable equipment performance through preventive maintenance and timely issue resolution.

What We're Looking For
  • Engineering graduate (Mechanical, Production, Industrial, or related) with 7–10 years of experience in manufacturing operations, empowered to drive results on the shop floor.
  • Strong knowledge of production processes, assembly, and special processes (e.g., Welding & Brazing), with curiosity to adopt new methods and technologies.
  • Proficient in quality and problem-solving tools (PPAP, PFMEA, Capability Studies, Gauge R&R, 8D, etc.) and committed to continuous improvement with a growth mindset.
  • Familiar with global standards (IATF 16949, ISO 14001, ISO 45001) and skilled in applying systems, tools, and best practices to ensure compliance and efficiency.
  • Empowering leader with strong collaboration skills—able to engage teams, communicate effectively, and work across functions (Planning, Quality, Maintenance, Logistics) to deliver results.
