Engineering Manager – Steel Plant

Role Purpose

Providemulti-disciplinary engineering leadershipacross process, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and civil/structural engineering for brownfield optimizations and capital expansion projects at AM/NS India plants. The role ensures safe,sustainableand operable designs aligned with business performance targets and seamless integration with procurement,constructionand operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead theengineering scope from concept to handover, including preparation and review ofPFDs, P&IDs, GA layouts, specifications, cause-and-effectmatricesand control narratives.
• Conduct and managedesign reviews and technical interfacesacross steelmaking units such asBlast Furnace (BF), BOF, DRI/EAF, Continuous Casting, Hot StripMilland utilities.
• Translate businessobjectivesrelated tocapacity expansion, product quality and decarbonizationinto technical design requirements and acceptance criteria.
• Integraterisk management and process safety practicesincluding HAZID, HAZOP, LOPA, SIL and Management of Change (MOC) into engineering designs and commissioning strategies.
• Work closely withprocurement teams for technical bid evaluations, vendorqualificationand FAT/SAT validation.
• Collaborate withproject controls teamstomaintainproject cost and schedule baselines.
• Ensure compliance withIndian statutory requirements, industrialcodesand AM/NS engineering standards.
• Supervise internal engineering teams and EPC contractors, manage cross-disciplineinterfacesand resolve engineering conflicts.
• Captureengineering lessons learnedand drive improvements to support future plant expansion phases.

Mandatory Experience

• 812 years of experience in engineering design and project delivery within heavy industries such as steel, metals, cement,refiningor large manufacturing plants.
• Minimum 35 years of experience leading multi-disciplinary engineering teams.
• Strong understanding of iron and steelmaking processes including BF-BOF or DRI-EAF routes, rolling mills and plant utilities.
• Hands-on experience with risk assessment methodologies including HAZOP,LOPAand SIL analysis.
• Practical experience designing systems for commissioning, operability and industrial safety including LOTO and SIMOPS procedures.
• Experience working with EPC contractors,vendorsand cross-functional project teams in large industrial projects.

Mandatory Skills

• Engineering design and technical leadership
• Manufacturing and heavy industry engineeringexpertise
• Multi-disciplinary engineering coordination (process, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, civil)
• Risk management and process safety integration
• Technical specification development and datasheet preparation
• Vendor management and technical bid evaluation
• Regulatory compliance and industrial standards knowledge
• Stakeholder communication and leadership management

Preferred Qualifications

• B.E. /B.Techin Mechanical, Chemical, Metallurgical, Electrical or Instrumentation Engineering
• M.Techor MBA is an advantage
• PMP / PRINCE2 certification or Functional Safety certification is preferred
• Experience withenergy efficiency projects, emissions reductioninitiativesor digital/advanced automation systems in manufacturing plants

Key Performance Indicators

• Engineering design freeze achieved within planned schedule
• CAPEX project variancemaintainedwithin +/-5 percent
• Zero high-potential HSE incidents during engineering and commissioning
• Successful achievement ofReady for Start-Up (RFSU) and Ready for Operation (RFO)milestones
• Stable ramp-up of plant operations to nameplate production capacity
