Job Summary

The Mechanical Fitter Foreman will lead shop-floor maintenance operations, supervising fitters and technicians to maintain maximum machine uptime and operational safety. This role involves hands-on preventive maintenance, breakdown repairs, and troubleshooting across roll forming lines, EOT cranes, mechanical/hydraulic presses, shearing machines, and press brakes, with end-to-end expertise spanning mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical control systems.

Key Responsibilities1. Machine Maintenance \& Troubleshooting

• Roll Forming Lines: Execute and oversee end-to-end maintenance of roll forming setups, drive trains, roll alignment, clearance adjustments, hydraulic power packs, flying cut-offs, and basic PLC troubleshooting.
• EOT Cranes: Conduct periodic inspections and maintenance of overhead cranes—including hoists, wire ropes, mechanical brakes, end carriages, LT/CT gear drives, pendant controls, and crane electrical panels.
• Power Presses \& Shearing Machines: Perform breakdown and preventive maintenance on mechanical power presses, pneumatic clutch/brake mechanisms, hydraulic/mechanical shearing machines, blade gap setting, blade flipping/sharpening, and hydraulic cylinders.
• Bending Machines \& Press Brakes: Supervise maintenance and precision calibration of hydraulic press brakes, relief valves, manifolds, cylinders, and structural alignment.

Hydraulic, Pneumatic \& Mechanical Systems

• Hydraulic Overhauls: Diagnose, service, and overhaul hydraulic pumps (gear, vane, piston), directional control valves, proportional valves, manifolds, solenoids, accumulators, and filtration units.
• Mechanical Fitment: Supervise fitters in servicing gearboxes, chains, sprockets, precision bearings, drive shafts, flexible couplings, and central lubrication networks.
• Pneumatics: Inspect and maintain FRL units, air cylinders, solenoid valves, and pneumatic logic piping.

Electrical \& Basic Automation

• Electrical Upkeep: Support routine upkeep of LT distribution panels, contactors, overload relays, circuit breakers (MCBs/MCCBs), timers, and VFDs.
• Fault Finding: Rapidly isolate machine breakdowns involving motor controls, limit switches, proximity sensors, optical sensors, encoders, and PLC I/O wiring.

Preventive Maintenance, Spares \& Safety

• PM Execution: Implement daily, weekly, and monthly PM schedules; track and minimize Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).
• Spare Management: Maintain an organized inventory of critical spares and consumables (hydraulic seals, valves, bearings, belts, brake liners, fuses, contactors, filters).
• Safety \& Compliance: Enforce strict shop floor safety protocols, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures during interventions, and ensure safe rigging/crane operations.

Required Qualifications \& Experience

• Education: Diploma or B.E. / B.Tech in Mechanical / Electrical / Mechatronics Engineering (or ITI Fitter certification backed by extensive senior shop-floor experience).
• Experience: 4 to 8+ years of hands-on plant maintenance experience in sheet metal, cold roll forming, steel fabrication, or heavy manufacturing.
• Domain Knowledge: Proven combined competency across Mechanical, Hydraulic, Pneumatic, and basic Electrical systems.
• Blueprint Reading: Ability to read and interpret mechanical assembly drawings, hydraulic circuits, and electrical wiring schematics.
• Leadership \& Analytical Skills: Proven ability to lead a crew of maintenance fitters, conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) on breakdowns, and coordinate with external vendors for spares and specialized repairs.
