Reclaim Rubber Production Manager – WNSRRPM08102026
Company Overview
The Company is a globally established Multinational (MNC) Rubber Raw Material Manufacturing Organization specializing in the recycling and transformation of used and scrap tyres into high-quality rubber raw materials through advanced and sustainable technologies. With a strong international presence and proven expertise in rubber recycling, the organization is recognized for its innovation, operational excellence, quality standards, and commitment to environmental sustainability. As part of its continued business expansion, the Company has established a new state-of-the-art manufacturing plant dedicated to Reclaim Rubber production. The new facility strengthens the Company's capabilities in converting end-of-life tyres and rubber waste into high-quality reclaimed rubber materials that can be used across diverse industrial applications. The new plant reflects the Company's commitment to circular economy practices, resource efficiency, sustainable manufacturing, and value creation from recycled rubber materials, while further strengthening its position in the global rubber recycling and raw material manufacturing industry.
Job Overview
As a Reclaim Rubber Production Manager, you will be responsible for managing and optimizing the overall production operations of the Company's newly established Reclaim Rubber manufacturing plant. The role will involve ensuring efficient plant operations, consistent product quality, production planning, manpower utilization, process improvement, safety, and adherence to established manufacturing standards. You will oversee the complete reclaim rubber production process, from the processing of used and scrap tyres and rubber waste through various production stages to the final reclaimed rubber output. The position requires strong hands-on experience in rubber manufacturing, production management, process control, plant operations, and team leadership, along with the ability to establish efficient systems and processes for a new manufacturing facility. The Production Manager will work closely with Quality, Maintenance, Engineering, Stores, Procurement, EHS, and Management teams to achieve production targets, minimize downtime and process losses, improve productivity, maintain consistent quality, and support the Company's commitment to sustainable and environmentally responsible rubber recycling.
Key Responsibilities
- Plan, direct, and oversee daily, weekly, and monthly production operations to achieve production, quality, cost, and delivery targets.
- Oversee the complete Reclaim Rubber manufacturing process, including scrap tyre and rubber waste handling, cutting, shredding, grinding, screening, fibre and steel separation, crumb-rubber preparation, devulcanization, refining, straining, milling, sheeting, cooling, cutting, and packing.
- Develop and execute production plans and schedules based on customer requirements, sales orders, raw material availability, machine capacity, manpower, inventory, and delivery commitments.
- Establish and implement SOPs, work instructions, process parameters, batch sheets, checklists, and process-control systems for the newly established manufacturing facility.
- Monitor and control critical reclaim rubber process parameters, including temperature, pressure, residence time, chemical/additive dosing, utility consumption, and batch conditions.
- Ensure optimum utilization of plant capacity, machinery, manpower, raw materials, utilities, chemicals, and other production resources.
- Monitor key production KPIs including output, yield, recovery, OEE, productivity, downtime, process losses, rejection, rework, energy consumption, and utility usage.
- Identify and implement opportunities for process improvement, productivity enhancement, yield improvement, energy efficiency, and manufacturing optimization.
- Minimize material wastage, process losses, rejection, rework, idle time, breakdown time, and excess consumption of production resources.
- Drive Lean Manufacturing, 5S, TPM, Kaizen, and other continuous improvement initiatives to improve shop-floor efficiency and reduce conversion costs.
- Coordinate with Maintenance and Engineering for preventive, predictive, and breakdown maintenance to improve equipment reliability and minimize unplanned downtime.
- Support plant commissioning, trial production, process validation, stabilization, capacity ramp-up, and production scale-up of the newly established facility.
- Work closely with the Quality team to ensure consistent batch-to-batch quality of reclaimed rubber according to defined specifications and customer requirements.
- Monitor product quality parameters such as mesh size, ash content, volatile matter, specific gravity, Mooney viscosity/plasticity, tensile strength, elongation, and other applicable product specifications.
- Investigate process deviations, quality failures, contamination, low-yield conditions, rejection trends, and customer complaints, and implement root-cause analysis and corrective/preventive actions.
- Coordinate with Stores and Procurement to ensure timely availability of scrap tyres, rubber waste, chemicals, additives, packaging materials, spares, consumables, and other production inputs.
- Monitor work-in-process inventory, finished-goods stock, scrap generation, material consumption, and material reconciliation to maintain an efficient production flow.
- Plan, allocate, and optimize manpower across shifts and production areas, including shift rosters, workforce deployment, shift handovers, and staffing requirements.
- Lead, train, guide, and develop production engineers, shift supervisors, operators, technicians, helpers, and other shop-floor personnel to build a skilled and performance-driven production team.
- Establish effective shift-wise production monitoring, MIS, production dashboards, downtime analysis, yield reports, variance analysis, and KPI reporting for Management review.
- Ensure strict compliance with EHS policies, statutory requirements, applicable environmental norms, permits, and internal safety procedures across the plant.
- Enforce safe operating practices including PPE usage, machine guarding, lockout/tagout, fire safety, safe chemical handling, and safe handling of scrap tyres and rubber waste.
- Collaborate closely with Quality, Maintenance, Engineering, Stores, Procurement, EHS, HR/Admin, Sales, and Senior Management to resolve operational issues and achieve plant objectives.
- Establish a culture of operational discipline, accountability, quality ownership, safety, continuous improvement, cost consciousness, and sustainable manufacturing within the production function.
- Contribute to developing an efficient, scalable, commercially viable, and environmentally responsible Reclaim Rubber manufacturing operation capable of consistently meeting customer and business requirements.
