Core responsibilities - operations and delivery-

Lead daily and weekly project reviews covering drawings, BOMs, material availability, fabrication, inspections, documentation, dispatch and site requirements.- Convert contractual milestones into executable production, procurement and inspection plans for every active project.- Monitor pressure vessels, heat exchangers, reactors, columns, tanks, skids, structural equipment and defence systems from order release through dispatch.- Identify schedule slippages and constraints early; assign owners and dates, escalate critical dependencies and verify closure.- Balance priorities across multiple projects competing for manpower, bays, cranes, machines, inspection slots and subcontracting capacity.- Ensure timely customer communication, inspection readiness, dispatch documentation, billing milestones and project handover.

Cross-functional leadership- Ensure Engineering releases approved drawings, BOMs and technical clarifications before production commitments are made.- Drive Purchase and Stores follow-up for plates, pipes, forgings, bought-outs, welding consumables and project-specific items.- Review production loading, manpower deployment, machine utilisation, overtime and subcontracting requirements.- Coordinate customer, consultant, TPI, DGAQA and statutory inspections, including timely closure of observations and NCRs.- Build strong supervisors and functional leaders; establish measurable daily and weekly accountability

Ensure compliance with ASME Section VIII, ASME Section IX, IBR, PESO, ISO systems, approved QAPs and customer requirements.- Protect material identification and traceability through receipt, cutting, fabrication, testing and dispatch.- Control project cost, material consumption, scrap, rework, repairs, overtime and external job-work expenses.- Maintain safe working practices, statutory compliance, preventive maintenance, housekeeping and workforce discipline.- Submit concise MIS covering output, milestone status, shortages, inspections, bottlenecks, cost risks and recovery actions.

Required experience and technical exposure- Strong experience in heavy fabrication, preferably with an ASME U-stamp manufacturer of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, reactors, columns, storage tanks or process skids.- Working knowledge of fabrication drawings, BOMs, plate development, fit-up, welding processes, WPS/PQR, NDT, PWHT, hydrotesting, blasting and painting.- Proven ability to manage several project-based jobs simultaneously while controlling cost and delivery.- Commercial understanding of project costing, material control, subcontracting, billing milestones and customer priorities.- Candidates from pure maintenance, automotive mass production, trading or non-fabrication backgrounds are unlikely to fit this position.
