Job details:
Department: Manufacturing / Sheet Metal Fabrication
Reports To: Production Manager / Plant Head
Shift: Rotational (as per shift schedule)
Location : Harohalli - 562112
Position Summary
The Shift Engineer will be responsible for overseeing the sheet metal post-bending assembly process — including pneumatic tool operations and TIG welding — through to handover for powder coating. The role owns shift-level production output, process optimization, and manpower management to ensure quality, productivity, and safety targets are met.
Key Responsibilities
1. Production & Process Control
- Supervise post-bending assembly operations on sheet metal components using pneumatic tools (riveting, punching, and fastening) and TIG welding.
- Ensure components are assembled as per drawings/specifications before moving to powder coating.
- Monitor in-process quality at each stage —assembly, welding — and reject/rework non-conforming parts.
- Coordinate handover of finished sub-assemblies to the powder coating line, ensuring surface readiness (no weld spatter, burrs, oil/grease).
- Maintain shift-wise production records, output logs, and rejection/rework data.
2. Process Optimization
- Identify bottlenecks in the bending-to-assembly-to-coating flow and propose corrective actions.
- Drive cycle time reduction initiatives for pneumatic tool operations and TIG welding stations.
- Standardize work instructions/SOPs for assembly and welding processes.
- Work with quality/engineering teams to reduce rework and rejection rates.
- Support implementation of Lean/5S/Kaizen practices on the shop floor.
3. Manpower Handling
- Plan and allocate manpower (operators, welders, helpers) across workstations based on shift production targets.
- Conduct shift briefings — communicate production targets, priorities, and safety points.
- Monitor operator performance, skill gaps, and coordinate on-the-job training (especially TIG welding and pneumatic tool handling).
- Manage attendance, shift changeovers, and absenteeism-related manpower adjustments.
- Enforce discipline, safety compliance, and PPE usage on the floor.
4. Equipment & Maintenance
- Ensure all pneumatic tools and TIG welding machines are in working condition; coordinate with maintenance for breakdowns.
- Schedule/track preventive maintenance for assembly and welding equipment.
- Maintain consumables inventory (welding wire, gas, pneumatic tool spares, etc.) to avoid line stoppages.
5. Quality & Safety
- Ensure adherence to quality standards before powder coating handover.
- Enforce shop floor safety protocols, especially around welding (fume extraction, fire safety) and pneumatic tool usage.
- Report and investigate any safety incidents or near-misses on shift.
Required Qualifications
- Diploma/B.E. in Mechanical / Production / Industrial Engineering (or equivalent).
- 3–4 years of experience in sheet metal fabrication/assembly in a manufacturing environment.
- Hands-on knowledge of TIG welding processes and pneumatic tool operations.
- Prior experience supervising shop floor manpower/shift operations.
- Familiarity with pre-powder-coating surface requirements is a plus.
Key Skills
- Sheet metal assembly process knowledge
- TIG welding process understanding (quality checks, parameter control)
- Pneumatic tool operations
- Shift/manpower planning
- Process optimization / Lean tools
- Production reporting (Excel/ERP)
- Team leadership and floor discipline management
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- Shift production output vs. target
- Rejection/rework rate
- On-time handover to powder coating
- Manpower utilization/attendance management
- Equipment downtime (pneumatic tools, welding machines)
- Safety incidents on shift
