Lead the installation, testing, and commissioning of new factory equipment and machinery.

Develop, update, and enforce Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for equipment handling and maintenance.

Ensure all engineering activities, maintenance logs, and workshop standards support flawless compliance during external audits.

Qualifications **

5+ years of direct, hands-on experience working with industrial ribbon mixers / blenders and related material-handling equipment (Mandatory).
