RAR Engineering Pvt. Ltd. hiring a high-impact, operations-driven Head of Production to lead mission-critical production operations at our client’s site, where the real work happens—not behind the desk, but on the floor, under pressure, and amidst real-world constraints.
This role is not for the faint-hearted. It demands mental resilience, physical endurance, and unshakeable leadership to drive output from existing teams and infrastructure in a challenging environment. You will represent us at the customer's location and are expected to take full ownership—as if it’s your own factory.
This Role Demands
- 100% ownership of production performance at customer-end facilities.
- Leading a rigidly structured, heavily audited, and often uncooperative production environment.
- Ability to push teams, fix operational gaps, enforce discipline, and extract output despite resistance.
- A mentally strong leader who can work long hours and thrive in high-pressure conditions.
- Someone who treats the factory floor as a battlefield and drives results through personal example, not instructions.
Core Responsibilities
- Manage daily production operations, including machining, assembly, metallurgy, testing, and QA, at the customer site.
- Plan, monitor, and improve productivity, quality, and process control while facing real-time shopfloor challenges.
- Troubleshoot issues related to tooling, machining practices, heat treatment variations, and team coordination.
- Drive discipline, documentation, accountability, and team motivation in a legacy-driven and often underperforming environment.
- Take full charge of floor layout, manpower planning, workflow standardization, and output improvement programs.
- Coordinate actively with design, purchase, QA, and client liaisons to ensure seamless project execution.
- Create daily, weekly, and monthly performance review systems, root cause mechanisms, and escalation processes.
Required Profile
- B.E. / M.Tech in Mechanical, Production, or Metallurgy.
- 10–15 years of hands-on experience in precision manufacturing environments, ideally in defense or high-standards public sector setups.
- Must have previously led production teams with end-to-end responsibilities across machining, finishing, and QA.
- Demonstrated ability to work in difficult, layered bureaucratic setups and still deliver measurable performance improvements.
- Strong mechanical foundation with working knowledge of CNC operations, tolerancing, metallurgy, fixturing, and QA methods.
- Experience with TPM, 5S, and lean manufacturing implementation in a live shopfloor environment is critical.
What You Should Know Before Applying
- The work location is customer-controlled—you will be the face and driver of change there.
- The environment will test your technical ability, people management skills, and leadership stamina.
- This role will require long hours, high focus, and day-to-day problem-solving, not just planning.
- Only apply if you’re willing to give 100% of your energy, commitment, and professional capacity to this mission.
Why Join Us?
- Strategic, high-visibility role with direct impact on national defense engineering deliverables.
- Opportunity to lead transformative manufacturing changes on critical indigenous programs.
