Limited Company jobs in West Bengal

1.Role Summary

This person owns every machine in the factory. They must understand how each machine works from the inside out — not just operate it, but know why it works, what can go wrong, and how to fix it. When a breakdown happens, the first response is to diagnose the root cause and attempt an in-house fix immediately. If the problem is beyond in-house capability, this person contacts the machine company or an outside vendor, follows up relentlessly, and ensures the machine is back to production in the shortest time possible.

Equally important: this person ensures breakdowns don’t happen in the first place. Regular checks, preventive maintenance schedules, proper machine usage by operators, and a disciplined spare parts system are all part of this role.

Fix it yourself first. Every breakdown follows this sequence: diagnose root cause → attempt in-house repair with your team → only if beyond capability, contact machine company or outside vendor → follow up daily until resolved. No breakdown should wait because “we called the vendor and they haven’t come yet.”

2.Key Responsibilities

Machine Knowledge & Breakdown Management

• Study and understand the working principle, mechanism, and design of every machine in the factory — peeling lathe, dryer, hot press, glue mixer/spreader, DD saw, boiler, sanding machine, DG set, compressor
• When a breakdown occurs: reach the machine immediately, diagnose the root cause (not just the symptom), and decide the fastest path to fix
• First attempt: fix in-house with your Electrician, Fitter, and MTS. Use your knowledge of the machine to guide the team on what exactly needs to be done
• If the problem requires OEM support or specialised expertise: contact the machine company directly, explain the issue technically, get their guidance or schedule their visit, and follow up every single day until the machine is running
• If the machine company cannot respond fast enough: identify and contact an outside vendor (local workshop, hydraulic specialist, motor rewinding shop) who can solve the problem faster
• Maintain a Breakdown Log for every incident — date, machine, what failed, root cause identified, action taken, parts used, downtime duration, and whether fixed in-house or externally

3.Preventive Maintenance & Regular Checks

• Create a monthly Preventive Maintenance (PM) calendar for every machine — greasing, oil changes, belt checks, bearing inspection, alignment, hydraulic system checks, electrical panel cleaning
• Conduct daily morning round of all machines before production starts — check for unusual sound, vibration, leaks, temperature, oil levels
• Build daily operator checklists for each section — simple one-page forms that operators fill before starting their machines (oil OK, sound normal, no leaks, temperature normal)
• Ensure operators are using machines properly — correct procedures, correct settings, not overloading, not bypassing safety features. If operators are misusing machines, train them and report to Production Manager
• Track running hours on critical equipment: hot press hydraulic pump, boiler, peeling lathe motor, dryer chain drive — schedule maintenance based on hours, not just calendar dates

4.Spare Parts & Vendor Management

• Work with Procurement Executive to maintain minimum stock of critical spares — parts whose absence would stop production (specific bearings, belts, contactors, hydraulic seals, blades)
• Provide consumption data and reorder alerts to Procurement Executive before stock runs out — never let production stop because a spare was not available
• Actively search for and build contacts with new vendors — local machine shops, hydraulic repair specialists, motor rewinding shops, bearing dealers, electrical component suppliers
• When identifying new vendors, loop in the Admin Executive for rate negotiation and vendor verification before placing orders
• Coordinate with Admin Executive for all spare parts purchase bills and delivery verification

5.Team Management & Coordination

• Assign daily work to Electrician, Fitter, and MTS every morning based on PM schedule and pending repair jobs
• Develop your team’s skills — teach them how machines work, not just how to replace parts; a team that understands root causes prevents repeat failures
• Coordinate with Production Manager on maintenance windows — schedule PM during weekly offs or shift gaps to avoid production loss
• Submit weekly maintenance report to GM: breakdowns this week, PM tasks completed, pending jobs, spares needed, machines at risk
• Work with the visiting Consultant Mechanical Engineer on major overhauls, machine modifications, and problems your team could not solve

6.Machines Under Responsibility

• Peeling Lathe — spindle, chuck, knife carriage, hydraulic system
• Veneer Dryer — chain drive, rollers, steam system, temperature controls
• Hot Press — hydraulic pump, cylinders, platens, temperature and pressure controls
• Glue Mixer and Spreader
• DD Saw — blade, motor, alignment, feed mechanism
• Boiler — mechanical aspects, in coordination with Boiler Supervisor
• Sanding Machine, Edge Trimmer, and all finishing equipment
• DG Set, Compressor, and all utility equipment
• All electrical panels, motors, starters, and VFDs across the factory

Required Qualifications

• Diploma or B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering
• 3–5 years hands-on maintenance experience in manufacturing — plywood, wood panel, paper, packaging, or any continuous process industry
• Must have actually worked with hands — not just supervised from a distance; needs to be able to open a machine, diagnose the problem, and guide the fix
• Strong understanding of both mechanical and electrical systems, even if specialised in one
• Experience with hydraulic systems is a strong plus (critical for hot press and peeling lathe)
• Problem-solving mindset — finds the root cause, does not just patch symptoms
• Leadership ability — must be able to assign work, follow up, and hold the maintenance team accountable
• Willingness to get vendor contacts, call machine companies, and chase follow-ups until the job is done

Preferred

• Previous experience in plywood or veneer manufacturing
• Familiarity with boiler operations and IBR regulations
• Experience building preventive maintenance systems from scratch
• Knowledge of condition monitoring — vibration analysis, thermal scanning

What Success Looks Like

• Knows every machine inside out — can explain how it works, what can fail, and how to fix it
• Unplanned downtime below 2% of total production hours per month
• 90%+ of preventive maintenance tasks completed on schedule
• Breakdown response within 15 minutes — at the machine, diagnosing, acting
• Zero repeat breakdowns — root cause fixed, not just symptom patched
• Critical spares always in stock — no production stoppage due to missing parts
• Growing list of reliable external vendors for specialised repairs
• Operators trained on proper machine usage and daily checks

First 30 Days

• Study every machine in the factory — understand its working principle, read manuals if available, talk to operators about recurring issues
• Create Machine Master Register — every machine with make, model, serial number, motor details, belt sizes, bearing numbers, critical spare list
• Build first version of the monthly PM schedule and get it approved by GM
• Set up the Breakdown Log system and start recording from Day 1
• Create daily operator checklists and deploy to all sections
• Prepare critical spares list and share with Procurement Executive — identify what is in stock and what needs to be ordered immediately
• Visit local vendors — machine shops, hydraulic repair, motor rewinding, bearing dealers — build initial contact list and share with Admin Executive for rate negotiation

Pay: ₹25,000.00 - ₹40,000.00 per month

Benefits:

• Flexible schedule
• Paid sick time
• Provident Fund

Application Question(s):

• Have you personally diagnosed and repaired production machine breakdowns (not just supervised technicians)?
