Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced Anodizing Production & Quality Supervisor with strong hands-on knowledge of the Aluminium anodizing process, colour dyeing, production monitoring, and quality inspection.

The candidate will be responsible for independently monitoring the anodizing process, controlling critical process parameters, ensuring consistent product quality, supervising manpower, and troubleshooting process-related issues.

The ideal candidate should have practical experience in Aluminium anodizing production and quality supervision, rather than experience limited to machine operation or manpower handling.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor and control the complete Aluminium anodizing process flow, from pretreatment through anodizing, coloring/dyeing, and final sealing.
• Monitor critical process parameters at each stage and ensure adherence to defined process standards.
• Conduct and monitor chemical bath analysis, including pH, temperature, concentration, and other relevant chemical parameters.
• Manage Orange, Blue, and Black colour dyeing processes and ensure proper colour shade matching.
• Monitor anodizing behaviour and process requirements for Aluminium 6060 and 6082 alloys.
• Conduct and monitor quality inspections related to:
• Anodizing/coating thickness
• Colour shade and consistency
• Surface/visual appearance
• Sealing quality
• Overall anodized finish
• Identify process deviations, quality issues, and production abnormalities and take appropriate corrective action.
• Perform troubleshooting and root cause analysis for anodizing and quality-related issues.
• Ensure control and reduction of production rejection and rework.
• Maintain necessary production and quality records/documentation.
• Supervise production manpower and allocate resources effectively to meet daily production requirements.
• Monitor daily production output, productivity, process compliance, and quality performance.
• Coordinate with Production and Quality teams to resolve process and product-related issues.
• Ensure consistent adherence to defined process parameters, quality standards, and work instructions.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives to improve productivity, quality, and process stability.
• Independently take appropriate process and quality decisions within the defined scope of responsibility.

Mandatory Technical Competencies

• Strong practical knowledge of aluminium anodizing processes.
• Complete understanding of the process flow from pretreatment to final sealing.
• Knowledge of chemical bath analysis and process parameter control.
• Hands-on experience in colour dyeing and shade matching, particularly Orange, Blue, and Black.
• Knowledge of Aluminium 6060 and 6082 alloy behaviour during anodizing.
• Knowledge of anodizing/coating thickness measurement and quality inspection.
• Understanding of sealing quality and visual appearance inspection.
• Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills.
• Knowledge of rejection control, corrective actions, and quality documentation.
• Ability to independently monitor production processes and make quality-related decisions.

Supervisory & Management Skills

• Production planning and daily production monitoring.
• Monitoring daily output against production requirements.
• Ensuring process discipline and compliance.
• Effective coordination with Production and Quality functions.
• Ability to identify and resolve shop-floor process issues independently.

Educational Qualification

• Minimum Diploma in Mechanical / Production / Chemical / Metallurgy / related engineering discipline.

Experience

• 3-4 years of relevant experience in aluminium anodizing production and quality supervision.
• Candidates should have hands-on experience in process monitoring, chemical bath control, colour dyeing, quality inspection, troubleshooting, and supervisory decision-making.
