Deadline: June 15, 2026

Job Description

Employment Type: Full-Time

Salary: Negotiable

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­Requirements:

Education

· Diploma/level 3/4/5 in industrial engineering/mechanics and electrical /machintronics/or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronics Engineering.

Experience

• · 2–5 years in a chemical, fertilizer, food processing, or beverage industry.
• · Must have worked with pumps, agitators, and liquid filling lines.
• · Experience in corrosive environments (acids, alkalis, salts) is highly preferred.

Technical Skills

Core Competencies & Skills:

1.      Plant Operations & Maintenance

• · Operate, troubleshoot, and maintain all mechanical and electrical equipment used in liquid fertilizer production:
• · Maintain mixing tanks, fermenters, agitators, and transfer pumps.
• · Control panels, motors, Variable Frequency Drives, sensors, solenoid valves.
• · Bottle filling machines and mouth sticker guns, etc.
• · Boilers or heaters (if thermal digestion is used), cooling towers, pH correction systems.
• · Execute preventive, predictive, and breakdown maintenance schedules.
• · Monitor motor currents, vibration, temperature, lubrication levels, and electrical insulation.

2. Mechanical Focus

• · Repair and alignment of pumps, agitators, gearboxes, and pipe joints.
• · Fabrication/modification of pipelines, tank fittings, and support structures.
• · Welding and pipe threading.
• · Manage spare parts inventory for mechanical seals, bearings, gaskets, and impellers.

3. Electrical Focus

• · Diagnose and repair control circuits, contactors, thermal overload relays, and PLC-related faults.
• · Maintain electrical panels, earthing systems, and cable trays in a wet/corrosive environment.
• · Calibrate and troubleshoot level switches, flow meters, conductivity probes, and temperature controllers.
• · Ensure all electrical systems have proper IP rating (water/dust protection) and chemical resistance.

4. Process Optimization

• · Suggest modifications to reduce energy consumption (motor efficiency, pump recirculation).
• · Work with the production team to minimize downtime during batch transfers or cleaning cycles.

5. Safety & Compliance

• · strictly follow Lock-out/Tag-out (LOTO) procedures.
• · Use chemical-resistant PPE – acids and organic liquids can damage standard parts.
• · Ensure all equipment is earthed to prevent static discharge (risk with organic solvents/vapors).
• · Comply with local environmental and electrical safety regulations

 

Category Specific Skills

• Mechanical Pump overhaul, agitator alignment, SS welding, bearing replacement, pipe fitting.
• Electrical 3-phase motor starters, VFD programming, relay logic, sensor calibration, panel troubleshooting.
• Instruments: Pressure gauges, RTDs, pH probes, level transmitters, flow switches.
• Tools: Multimeter, megger, tachometer, dial gauge, infrared thermometer.

Soft Skills & Working Conditions

· Physical ability to climb tanks, lift pumps (20–30 kg), work in humid/odorous areas.

· Willing to work rotational shifts or emergency call-outs (fermentation cycles are 24/7).

· Good documentation – logbooks, checklist sign-offs, downtime reports, Basic computer skills, and ERP usage are a must.(for planning and reporting).
