Operations - Long product

Department: Operations / Production
Industry: Wire rod mill
Experience: Ideally 715 years in wire rod/special steel rolling, withat least 5-10 years in a shift-in-charge. (Independently)

Key Responsibilities

1. Shift Operations

• Take complete charge of wire rod mill operations during the shift from reheating furnace to finished coil handling.
• Ensure safe, stable and efficient operation of the complete mill.
• Monitor production, yield, mill utilization, cobble rate, quality and energy consumption.
• Coordinate with Maintenance, Quality, Electrical, Utility and Dispatch teams for smooth operation.

Wire Rod Block Mandatory Technical Expertise

• Hands-on experience in high-speed wire rod block operation , including:
  • Block stand setup and pass-line control
  • Roll gap setting
  • Guide setting and alignment
  • Loop control and tension control
  • Inter-stand speed/tension coordination
  • Block temperature management
  • Twist-free rolling and dimensional control
  • Block cobble prevention and troubleshooting
• Ability to identify causes of dimensional variation, ovality, tension problems, loop instability, cobbles and surface defects .

Rebar / Bar Rolling

• Experience in rebar production , preferably special-grade rebar.
• Knowledge of pass design(basic), guide setting, finishing temperature, dimensional control and mechanical-property control.
• Ability to handle grade changes and rolling instability.

1. Special Steel Rolling Critical Requirement
   Candidate should have actual experience in rolling special grades , preferably:

• Alloy steel or Stainless Steel.

He should understand the differences between carbon steeland special-steel rolling , particularly:

• Reheating practice
• Soaking and furnace temperature control
• Descaling
• Rolling temperature
• Finishing temperature
• Cooling strategy
• Grade-change practices
• Surface-defect prevention
• Dimensional control
• Metallurgical requirements.

Special Technical Knowledge I Would Make Mandatory

The candidate should be able to independently explain andtroubleshoot:

Furnace Roughing Intermediate Finishing Wire RodBlock Laying Head Coil Conveyor Coil Handling

He should understand the effect of:

• Billet temperature
• Temperature drops between stands
• Roll gap
• Pass reduction
• Rolling speed
• Inter-stand tension
• Loop height
• Guide alignment
• Roll wear
• Water cooling
• Descaling
• Finishing temperature
• Cooling rate
• Laying-head speed
• Coil formation parameters

on quality, productivity and cobble generation .

Quality Knowledge

Candidate should be capable of investigating defects suchas:

• Surface cracks
• Longitudinal cracks
• Seams
• Slivers
• Scratches
• Rolled-in scale
• Dimensional variation
• Ovality
• Coil shape/formation defects
• Mechanical-property variation
• Decarb/oxidation-related issues
• Stainless-steel surface defects.

He should be familiar with root-cause analysis, 5 Why,Fishbone, CAPA and process-control methods .

Safety & Shift Management

• Strong knowledge of rolling-mill safety and LOTO.
• Conduct pre-startup inspection after shutdown/maintenance.
• Ensure all guards, guides, cooling systems, emergency systems and interlocks are healthy before mill startup.
• Lead emergency response during cobble, roll failure, guide failure, water failure, power failure, etc.
• Manage manpower and allocate operators according to mill requirements.
• Ensure compliance with SOP, SWP, PPE and safety standards.

Production & Improvement

The person should be capable of improving:

• Mill productivity
• Yield
• Mill utilization
• Cobble rate
• Energy consumption
• Rejection/rework
• Changeover time
• Rolling stability.

Experience in TPM, OEE, Kaizen, continuous improvement would be an advantage.
