ABOUT THE COMPANY

A mid-sized forging and manufacturing company specializing in high-quality, customized steel forgings primarily in the Oil & Gas and Petrochemicals sectors.

• Build a predictable order book and margin profile; negotiate long-cycle contracts and key accounts.
• Modernize manufacturing: improve throughput, OEE, yield, and first-time-right quality; deploy capex with IRR/ROI discipline.
• Lead digital/ERP transformation; institutionalize data-driven governance (S&OP, SKU profitability, cash conversion, vendor scorecards).
• Strengthen supply chain resilience—vendor development for alloys (including duplex and super duplex) and strategic sourcing.
• Establish a performance culture—clear KRAs/KPIs and leadership bench, with safety and compliance as non-negotiables.
• Represent the company with customers, JV/tech partners, auditors, banks, and industry bodies; uphold brand and governance standards.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR (Capability & Experience)

• 18+ years in B2B manufacturing/industrial engineering with demonstrated P&L ownership and scale-up results.
• Track record in driving growth across domestic and international markets, securing large, multi-year contracts; Oil & Gas, manufacturing, or heavy engineering background preferred.
• Strong command of plant operations, quality systems, supply chain, and capex deployment.
• Solid financial acumen (pricing, mix, working capital, project IRR) and stakeholder management (banks, auditors, boards).
• People leader who builds accountable teams and a performance culture.
• Education: Engineering (preferred) + MBA/PGDM desirable.
