Location: Umargaon/Sarigam, Gujarat — candidates based in the Umbergaon–Sarigam–Vapi–Daman–Valsad belt strongly preferred
Department: Quality Control (QC)
Reports to: Plant Head / Director
Experience: 3–6 years hands-on QC in sheet metal or equivalent quality control department
Industry: Cookware & Kitchenware Manufacturing
ROLE OVERVIEW
Own day-to-day quality control on the shop floor — incoming material, in-process press operations, and final product — and build Bhalaria's QC system from the ground up: inspection formats, SOPs, sampling plans, and rejection analysis. This is a hands-on, on-the-floor role, not a supervisory desk role. You will personally measure, inspect, approve, and document.
WHO THIS ROLE IS FOR
- You are currently a QC Engineer / Senior QC Inspector reporting to a QC Manager or Plant Head or are heading the QC department— and ready to step up and own a plant's QC function end-to-end.
- You have personally done first-piece approvals, instrument measurements, and rejection reports — not only reviewed your team's work.
- You have worked inside a structured QC system (formats, registers, AQL sampling, CAPA) and can replicate and improve it here.
- You live in or near Umargaon, or can relocate to the area.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- QC System Building: Design and implement inspection checklists, SOPs, AQL sampling plans, and daily QC reporting formats covering incoming, in-process, and final stages.
- Incoming Inspection: Check stainless steel coils/sheets (SS 304, 430, Tri-ply) for thickness, grade accuracy, and surface quality.
- In-Process QC: Conduct first-piece setup approvals and inspect deep drawing, stamping, trimming, and welding operations to catch cracks, thinning, or misalignment early.
- Final Product Inspection: Inspect mirror/satin polish finishes, check bottom flatness (for induction use), test handle strength, and run leak checks.
- Defect Handling: Isolate non-conforming batches, write daily rejection reports, and drive root-cause analysis (CAPA) with production teams to reduce scrap.
- Record Keeping: Maintain daily inspection logs and perform final batch sampling (AQL) under ISO 9001 guidelines.
REQUIREMENTS
- Education: Diploma or B.E. in Mechanical / Production / Metallurgy Engineering preferred
- Experience: Minimum 3 years hands-on QC in ideally sheet metal, stainless steel cookware, or metalware manufacturing or any other equivalent industry
- Current level: QC Engineer / Senior Inspector level, reporting to a QC Manager or Plant Head (not currently heading a plant or department).
- Skills: Proficiency with vernier calipers, micrometers, and gauges; clear understanding of deep drawing processes, sheet metal defects, and surface finish evaluation.
- Location: Based in or near Umargaon preferred.
