• Coordinate production activities for fire pumps, including horizontal split-case pumps, end-suction pumps, vertical turbine pumps, and packaged fire pump systems, as applicable.
• Allocate manpower, machinery, tools, and materials according to production priorities and job requirements.
• Monitor production progress and identify bottlenecks, delays, and resource constraints.
• Coordinate with production planning, procurement, stores, and engineering teams to ensure the timely availability of materials and components.
• Ensure manufacturing activities are carried out according to approved production plans, technical drawings, work instructions, and standard operating procedures.
• Review daily output against targets and implement corrective actions to address production shortfalls.
• Coordinate work-in-progress movement between machining, fabrication, assembly, testing, and finishing stages, as applicable.

• Supervise the assembly of pump components, mechanical seals, bearings, impellers, shafts, casings, couplings, base frames, and associated accessories.
• Ensure correct assembly practices, component fitment, alignment, clearances, and torque requirements are followed.
• Coordinate manufacturing activities involving electric motor-driven and diesel engine-driven fire pump systems.
• Monitor fabrication, machining, drilling, welding, surface preparation, painting, and finishing activities where applicable.
• Verify that components are manufactured and assembled according to engineering drawings, bill of materials, and technical specifications.
• Coordinate the assembly of pump skids, control panels, piping arrangements, and packaged systems where required.
• Identify assembly errors, dimensional deviations, component defects, and process issues, ensuring timely corrective action.
• Work closely with engineering and technical teams to resolve production-related problems and improve manufacturing methods.

• Ensure production activities comply with approved quality procedures, inspection plans, and product specifications.
• Coordinate with the quality control team to inspect incoming components, in-process assemblies, and completed products.
• Verify critical assembly parameters, dimensional tolerances, component identification, and traceability requirements.
• Ensure pumps and associated systems are prepared for performance testing and final inspection.
• Coordinate testing activities to verify relevant performance parameters, including flow, pressure, and operational functionality.
• Ensure non-conformities are documented, investigated, and resolved before products proceed…
