We are looking for a safety-focused and hands-on Plant Operator with experience in the pigment, dyes, or specialty chemicals manufacturing sector. The role involves executing batch processes, handling chemical reactions, milling/grinding, filtration, and drying operations while strictly maintaining quality parameters (such as shade, strength, and dispersion) and EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Batch Charging & Reaction Handling: Accurately charge raw materials (pigment intermediates, dyes, acids, alkalis, and solvents) into reactors, mixing vessels, and dispersion units as per Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
• Process Operation: Operate and monitor key pigment-processing equipment, including reaction kettles, precipitation tanks, filter presses, spin-flash/tray driers, and pulverizers/jet mills.
• Parameter Monitoring: Closely monitor critical process controls such as temperature, pH, pressure, and agitation speed to ensure uniform batch quality and consistency.
• Quality Control Support: Draw routine in-process samples to check parameters like shade, purity, viscosity, and moisture content, coordinating closely with the QC laboratory.
• Filtration & Drying Support: Manage slurry filtration, washing cycles, and drying stages to prevent contamination and achieve desired physical properties.
• Safety & Housekeeping: Adhere strictly to hazardous chemical handling guidelines, use necessary Personal Protective Equipment (PPE / respirators), and maintain pristine housekeeping to prevent dust accumulation and cross-contamination.
