Walk-in || Shift Engineer Bath Chemistry & PSM Diamond Wire

Role & responsibilities

• * Ensure health and stability of diamond wire plating baths and associated PSM operations during the shift.
• * Monitor bath parameters such as Ni, additives, pH, temperature, and conductivity within defined control limits.
• * Plan and execute chemical make-up, additions, transfers, and media rotations as per operating procedures.
• * Operate filtration and carbon treatment skids and ensure timely filter changes and press cycles.
• * Coordinate with Lab teams for bath sampling, analysis, and implementation of approved corrections.
• * Maintain accurate documentation of bath corrections and chemical usage in LIMS.
• * Maintain Ni and additive mass balance across plating, PSM, and NR operations and identify unexplained losses.
• * Track consumption of Ni, chemicals, and media against plan and support cost and consumption optimization.
• * Coordinate with Bay Operations, QA, NR, and WWT/ETP teams for smooth and safe operations.
• * Ensure proper segregation and treatment of effluents in coordination with WWT/ETP teams.
• * Enforce safe work practices, PPE, ventilation, chemical handling SOPs, and PTW/LOTO requirements.
• * Maintain proper chemical storage, labelling, and segregation as per safety and statutory requirements.
• * Support investigations related to quality or yield issues and implement corrective and preventive actions.
• * Support trials for new chemistries, additives, and operating windows in coordination with relevant teams.
• * Coach team members and contractor staff on safe chemical handling, sampling, and checklist discipline.

Preferred candidate profile

• * B.Tech / B.E. in Chemical or Electrochemical Engineering preferred; allied disciplines such as Metallurgical or Materials Engineering may also be considered.
• * 3-6 years of experience in chemical operations, electroplating baths, PSM/WWT, or chemical plants with continuous make-up and dosing systems.
• * Experience in chemical preparation, filtration, carbon treatment, and dosing skids, preferably in electroplating or metal finishing.
• * Exposure to bath analysis, titration methods, lab coordination, and mass-balance calculations.
• * Strong understanding of electrochemistry, solution chemistry, stoichiometry, and safe chemical handling.
• * Experience in Ni, Cu, Sn, or Zn electroplating / metal finishing lines will be preferred.
• * Experience in chemical operations within PV/cell/module manufacturing plants will be an added advantage.
• * Working knowledge of LIMS, P&IDs, interlocks, and SCADA/PLC systems for chemical dosing and transfer operations.
• * Ability to interpret P&IDs and understand pump, valve, and filtration systems.
• * Basic understanding of PLC/SCADA indications and process monitoring.
• * Strong documentation, data analysis, mass-balance, and compliance skills.
• * Good communication and coordination skills to work with Operations, QA, NR, WWT, and HSEF teams.
• * Proficiency in MS Office, particularly Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.
