Production Supervisor

About the Company:
Ratcone Engineering Pvt Ltd is a growing steel fabrication and Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB) company executing industrial sheds, warehouses and heavy structural fabrication projects. Our plant is equipped with a 12 kW laser cutting machine, CNC and VMC machines, press brake, lathes and EOT cranes.

Role Overview:
We are looking for an experienced Production Supervisor to take full ownership of shop-floor production from receipt of fabrication drawings to dispatch-ready structures. You will manage laser cutting operations, in-house machining, and external fabrication contractors (fit-up, welding, chipping, painting), ensuring production runs to drawing, to schedule and to quality.

Key Responsibilities:

• Study and interpret technical structural/fabrication drawings (GA drawings, part drawings, DXF cutting profiles) and plan daily production accordingly
• Plan and supervise laser cutting operations — nesting priorities, material allocation, cut-part tagging and traceability
• Hand over cut material to fabrication teams/external contractors and supervise fit-up, welding, chipping and painting activities
• Coordinate with the Design Engineer on drawing clarifications and with QC on stage clearances
• Set and achieve daily/weekly production targets; report progress against project schedules
• Monitor material consumption, minimize scrap and off-cuts through efficient nesting and planning
• Manage manpower — machine operators, helpers and contractor teams; allocate work and monitor productivity
• Ensure machine upkeep in coordination with maintenance; report breakdowns and follow up on resolution
• Enforce safety discipline on the shop floor (PPE, crane operations, hot work)

Required Qualifications & Experience:

• B.Tech / B.E. in Mechanical Engineering (mandatory)
• 8–12 years of hands-on production experience in PEB shed manufacturing / structural steel fabrication (mandatory)
• Strong ability to read and interpret structural and fabrication drawings — this will be tested at interview
• Experience supervising welding/fabrication contractors and shop-floor manpower
• Working knowledge of laser/plasma cutting operations, nesting and material planning preferred
• Familiarity with fabrication quality norms (fit-up tolerances, weld sizes, painting/DFT) preferred

Key Skills : PEB, Pre-Engineered Buildings, Steel Fabrication, Production Supervision, Structural Drawings, Fabrication Drawings, Laser Cutting, Welding, Shop Floor Management, Industrial Sheds, Production Planning, AutoCAD (reading)

Why Join Us:
Opportunity to build and lead the production function of a fast-growing engineering company with modern CNC and laser cutting infrastructure, reporting directly to the Managing Director.
