Ensure smooth transitions during startup, shutdown, and process upsets, following standard operating procedures and safety protocols. Equipment Monitoring: Monitor and adjust various equipment, including crushers, kilns, mills, conveyors, and control valves, to maintain smooth operation and prevent disruptions.

Troubleshooting and Issue Resolution: Identify and troubleshoot process and equipment issues in a timely manner. Collaborate with plant and HROC staff to resolve problems, minimizing downtime and production losses. Escalate complex issues to HROC functional staff or supervisor as necessary.

Comply with regulatory requirements and company policies, reporting any safety incidents or near misses promptly. Participate in safety meetings and training sessions to enhance safety awareness. Data Recording and Reporting: Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of process parameters, equipment readings, and operational activities. Generate production reports, shift handover logs, and incident reports as required. Assist in the analysis of operational data to identify trends, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement. Emergency Response: Be familiar with emergency response procedures and participate in emergency drills. Take appropriate actions in the event of emergencies or abnormal conditions, following established protocols and working collaboratively with the emergency response team. Continuous Improvement: Contribute to the continuous improvement of plant operations by providing guidance on process optimization, participating in improvement initiatives, and providing feedback on operational procedures and controls.
