production engineer

• 1. Production Engineering & Process Optimization

  • Workflow Optimization: Manage daily production schedules for precast elements (hollow-core slabs, wall panels, structural beams, and architectural cladding).

  • Process Improvement: Implement Lean manufacturing methods (5S, Kaizen, TPM) to reduce cycle times, minimize concrete waste, and improve batching accuracy.

  • Equipment & Mold Management: Monitor performance of automated casting beds, stressing beds, overhead cranes, batching plants, and curing chambers.

  • Troubleshooting: Resolve technical issues during batching, pouring, vibration, prestressing/tensioning, and demolding.

  2. Safety Investigations & Risk Management

  • Incident & Near-Miss Investigations: Lead detailed root-cause analysis (RCA) using standard methodologies (5 Whys, Fishbone diagrams, Bowtie analysis) for all plant incidents, equipment failures, or hazardous conditions.

  • Hazard Identification & Mitigation: Conduct regular safety audits focusing on high-risk precast hazards (e.g., overhead crane lifts, prestressing cable tensioning, silica dust exposure, heavy formwork handling).

  • Corrective & Preventive Actions (CAPA): Develop, execute, and verify action plans to prevent repeat safety or environmental incidents.

  • Regulatory Compliance: Ensure compliance with local occupational safety regulations (e.g., OSHA / local OHS standards), keeping detailed documentation for reporting and auditing.

  3. Quality Control & Technical Assurance

  • Concrete & Mix Oversight: Collaborate with QA/QC teams to audit concrete mix designs, curing temperatures, and early compressive strength tests before detensioning.

  • Pre-Stress Safety Audits: Enforce strict safety protocols during high-tonnage wire and strand tensioning procedures.
