Head – Engineering, Aseptic Technology & Maintenance

Role Purpose To

assist the complete Engineering, Operation-readiness, Maintenance, and Technical compliance

of the aseptic manufacturing setup — covering

PET blow moulding, aseptic filling, packing lines, utilities, qualification documentation, and EHS , leading to stable and compliant commercial production.

Key Responsibilities 1️. Aseptic Manufacturing Equipment – Technical Ownership End-to-end technical responsibility for: PET blow moulding operations

(preform handling, heating, stretch blow moulding, bottle quality control) Aseptic bottle sterilization systems

(H₂O₂) Aseptic filling & capping machines Secondary packing lines

(inspection, labelling, collation, shrink wrapping, palletization) Deep involvement in: Machine setup and parameter optimization Sterilization process understanding and control Line balancing and efficiency improvement Equipment capability and reliability assessment Ensure machines are not only installed, but

capable of consistent aseptic commercial operation .

2️. Running, Control & Maintenance of Equipment Overall responsibility for: Preventive and breakdown maintenance of all manufacturing equipment Spares planning and critical part management Root cause analysis for repeated failures or stoppages Improving OEE and reducing unplanned downtime Ensure maintenance practices which are: GMP-compliant Well-documented Aligned with aseptic risk management

3️. Utilities – Aseptic Critical Systems Ownership Full technical ownership of all utilities required for aseptic filling in

PET bottles , including: RO / PW / clean water systems Clean steam and process steam Sterile compressed air HVAC systems with HEPA filtration and pressure cascades CIP / SIP systems Chilled water, cooling towers, electrical power systems Ensure utilities are: Properly designed, sized, commissioned, and maintained Integrated with production and automation systems Reliable, redundant, and audit-ready

4️. Qualification, Validation & Documentation Own engineering-side execution and documentation for: DQ, IQ, OQ, PQ of all equipment and utilities FAT and SAT activities Equipment manuals, SOPs, calibration and maintenance records Ensure readiness of documentation for: Commercial manufacturing Internal and regulatory audits Ongoing lifecycle compliance Work closely with QA to ensure

engineering compliance supports GMP and aseptic requirements .

5️. Training & Capability Building Plan and execute structured training programs for: Engineering team Operators and technicians Maintenance personnel Ensure teams are trained on: Equipment operation Sterilization principles Aseptic risk awareness Troubleshooting and maintenance best practices Build long-term in-house technical capability, not OEM dependence.

6️. EHS (Environment, Health & Safety) Ensure all engineering activities comply with EHS norms, including: Equipment safety Chemical handling (H₂O₂, CIP chemicals) Pressure systems and utilities safety Electrical and mechanical safety Drive safe engineering practices during: Installation Commissioning Routine operations and maintenance

Candidate Profile Mandatory Technical Experience Strong, hands-on experience in: PET blow moulding operations Aseptic filling processes Packing lines Utilities supporting aseptic manufacturing (PET) Deep understanding of: Sterilization methods and controls Engineering aspects of aseptic manufacturing equipment Machine operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting Validation and documentation requirements for commercial manufacturing
