Maintenance-in-charge

A Maintenance Incharge is responsible for ensuring the uninterrupted operation of production machinery specifically twin-screw extruders, mixers, and pulverizers by managing preventive and breakdown maintenance. This role requires technical expertise in electrical/mechanical systems and a strong focus on minimizing downtime to maintain production efficiency in a plastic compounding environment

Key Responsibilities

• Machine Maintenance & Reliability (Extrusion Focus)
• Preventive Maintenance (PM): Develop and execute PM schedules for twin-screw extruders. High-speed mixers, pelletizers, and volumetric/gravimetric feeders.
• Breakdown Maintenance: Quickly troubleshoot and repair critical machinery to minimize production downtime.
• Predictive Maintenance: Utilize techniques like vibration analysis or oil analysis to predict potential equipment failure.
• Utility Maintenance: Oversee maintenance of essential utilities: screw air compressors, water ring vacuum pumps, air chillers, cooling towers, and EOT cranes.
• Production Support & Technical Leadership
• Ensure smooth operation of extrusion lines, including screw and barrel assembly/dismantling.
• Lead a team of technicians, assigning tasks and providing on-the-job training (OJT) to improve technical skills.
• Coordinate with production team to reduce process scrap, contamination, and machine stoppages.
• Spare Parts & Inventory Management
• Maintain inventory of critical and consumable spares (e.g., heater bands, screws, barrels, die face cutters) to reduce repair lead time.
• Ensure availability of electrical components (AC/DC drives, sensors, PLC components) and pneumatic parts.
• Safety & Compliance
• Maintain cleanliness and high maintenance standards (5S) in the plant.

• Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of mechanical assemblies, electrical panels (11 KV HT Line/LT MCC), and PLC-based systems.
• Experience: min 2+ years of experience in maintenance, preferably in plastic extrusion, masterbatch, or compound manufacturing.
• Problem-Solving: Proven ability to troubleshoot and resolve issues in tense situations.
• Leadership: Strong team management and communication skills.
• Education: Diploma or Bachelors degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or CIPET graduate.

• Machine Downtime ,
• MTTR/MTBF: Reduced Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) and increased Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).
• PM Compliance: 100% adherence to planned maintenance schedules.
• Spare Parts Cost: Adherence to R&M (Repair & Maintenance) budget.
