Assistant Plant Manager (East Sector)

Key Responsibilities Production Execution Produce concrete according to the Command Centre’s daily production schedule (quantity, grade, slump, and delivery timing). Optimize batching cycle time to achieve plant utilization of at least 85% of rated capacity. Manage balance concrete returns – ensure reprocessing or disposal via NEA-approved methods only. Quality Assurance (SS EN 206) Enforce full compliance with BCA RMC plant certification requirements and SS EN 206 standards. Ensure all mix designs used are BCA-approved and produced within permissible tolerances (water, admixture, cement). Oversee in-process quality checks (slump, temperature, unit weight) and coordinate external laboratory sampling as required. Investigate and document every non-conforming concrete disposition; implement corrective actions. Command Centre & Logistics Integration Provide real-time plant status updates to the Command Centre (uptime, breakdowns, material shortages, batch queue). Coordinate loading sequence and bay allocation with the Logistics Manager to minimize truck waiting time. Raw Material & Inventory Management Monitor daily stock levels of cement, aggregates, admixtures, and water. Perform incoming material quality checks (moisture, grading, silt content, cement temperature). Report any potential shortage of critical materials to the Assistant Operations Manager. Conduct monthly physical stock reconciliation against system records. Plant Maintenance & Reliability Execute and document the preventive maintenance schedule (weekly, monthly, quarterly) for batching plant, silos, conveyors, compressors, and weigh scales. Maintain calibration records for all weighing systems as required by BCA/ISO/HDB. Respond to any plant breakdown within 30 minutes. Keep a minimum inventory of critical spare parts (load cells, motors, belts, pumps). Safety, Health & Environment (WSH/NEA) Implement and update plant-specific risk assessments (RA) and safe work procedures (SWP). Ensure dust collectors, silo filters, and water spray systems operate within NEA limits. Maintain the washout pit and closed-loop water recycling system; prevent any slurry discharge into drains. Conduct a weekly plant safety walk and a monthly WSH toolbox meeting. Plant Staff Management Directly supervise batchers, plant technicians, loader operators, cleaning crew, and Cubeman (QC worker taking samples at plant/sites). Prepare shift schedules to cover night pours and weekend works. Train all plant staff on batching software, emergency stop procedures, and safe material handling. Enforce discipline, attendance, and proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Reporting & Continuous Improvement Submit a daily production report (volume, downtime reasons, waste, stock usage) to the Command Centre and Operations Manager/Assistant Operations Manager. Report any quality, safety, or environmental incident within 2 hours. Propose plant upgrades to improve the Command Centre’s ability to meet customer demand.
