Role Purpose
Lead and manage end-to-end production of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), ensuring safety, quality, cost, and delivery targets are consistently achieved. Drive operational excellence across module/pack assembly, container integration, and testing.
Key Responsibilities1. Production Planning & Execution
- Develop and execute production plans aligned with demand forecasts and project timelines
- Ensure optimal utilization of manpower, machinery, and materials
- Monitor daily/weekly/monthly production KPIs (output, efficiency, downtime)
2. Manufacturing Operations (BESS)
- Oversee assembly processes including:
- Battery module/pack assembly
- Rack integration
- Containerized BESS assembly
- Electrical integration (PCS, BMS, HVAC, fire systems)
- Ensure adherence to SOPs and work instructions
3. Quality & Compliance
- Ensure products meet internal and customer quality standards
- Implement in-process quality checks and final inspection protocols
- Drive root cause analysis (RCA) and corrective actions
- Ensure compliance with standards like IEC, UL, ISO
4. Safety & EHS
- Enforce strict safety protocols, especially for lithium-ion battery handling
- Ensure compliance with EHS guidelines and statutory norms
- Conduct regular safety audits and trainings
5. Team Management
- Lead, mentor, and develop production teams (engineers, supervisors, operators)
- Drive performance management and skill development
- Manage shift planning and workforce allocation
6. Continuous Improvement
- Implement Lean, Six Sigma, and Kaizen initiatives
- Improve productivity, reduce cycle time, and minimize wastage
- Drive automation and digitalization initiatives (MES, IoT)
7. Cross-functional Coordination
