Engineering store, toolroom and production lines

Location

Madagascar (diaper manufacturing plant)

Key Responsibilities

Engineering store

■ Receive, inspect, code, store and issue spares, tools and consumables based on authorised requests; maintain GRN, stock ledger, bin cards and traceability.

■ Monitor minimum and maximum levels, critical spares and reorder points; coordinate replenishment, stock counts and control of obsolete or repairable items.

Overhauling and repair

■ Perform major overhauls of anatomic cutters and waistband sealers: inspect, replace worn parts, align, assemble and complete approved trial checks. For the waistband sealer, this includes sealing elements, heaters, temperature sensors, pressure mechanism, bearings, drive parts and alignment, with sealing performance verified in a controlled trial.

■ Overhaul and repair other diaper-line units as trained and authorised: trimming and cutting, bonding and sealing, web guiding, tension and roller assemblies, nip units, pneumatic cylinders, gearboxes and mechanical drives.

■ Service and repair Nordson hot-melt adhesive modules as per training and authorisation: applicator modules and guns, manifolds, filters, hoses, heated components, temperature sensors, heaters and solenoid valves.

■ Follow OEM procedures for safe isolation, depressurisation, cooling, dismantling, cleaning, filter and seal replacement, reassembly and functional checks; verify temperature control, adhesive flow, leakage and application pattern in an authorised trial.

Toolroom, safety and records

■ Maintain toolroom organisation, tool and gauge condition, calibration status and 5S; coordinate with Production and Engineering during breakdowns and planned shutdowns.

■ Comply with PPE and LOTO requirements; record repairs, spare consumption and handovers; escalate electronic controller, complex electrical or specialist work to authorised service support.

■ Maintain store and toolroom records: spare-parts master and bin locations, GRN and issue/return vouchers, stock-count and variance reports, tool and calibration registers, overhaul and Nordson service records, job cards and trial/handover checklists.

Candidate Profile

■ Education: ITI or technical certificate, or Diploma in Mechanical, Fitter, Machinist or Tool & Die.

■ Experience: 3 to 5 years of relevant experience in an engineering store, toolroom or machine overhaul role in a manufacturing plant. Nordson hot-melt exposure is preferred; diaper, hygiene, nonwoven or FMCG packaging line experience is an advantage.

■ Skills: Mechanical fitting; precision measurement; inventory control; Excel or ERP; LOTO and 5S.

■ Language: Proficient English, written and spoken.
