Provide technical management and ensure emission compliance of waste gas treatment facilities (CO catalytic thermal oxidizers, activated carbon adsorption, caustic/Acid scrubbing towers, condensation recovery ).

Participate in integrity management of emergency containment basins, rainwater diversion/switching valves, bund/dike and anti-seepage facilities.

4. Projects & Technical Upgrades

Participate in feasibility studies for new-build/expansion projects, URS preparation, technical proposal reviews, technical bid evaluations, construction management, and FAT/SAT/PSSR acceptance.

Lead energy-saving and cost-reduction retrofits — steam heat recovery, raising circulating water cycles of concentration, compressed air leak remediation, cooling capacity optimization — and track return on investment (ROI).

Be responsible for archiving and updating drawings (P&ID, layout/general arrangement drawings, single-line diagrams), technical documentation and management-of-change records.

5. EHS & Compliance

Implement periodic inspection, registration and certification management of special equipment (boilers, pressure vessels, pressure piping, lifting appliances/cranes).

7. Team & Daily Management

Train and coach operations shift crews; conduct skill assessments and safety briefings/toolbox talks.

Compile monthly energy consumption reports and KPI analyses (energy, water and steam consumption per unit product, equipment availability/integrity rate, MTBF/MTTR), and drive continuous improvement.

Manage the safety, quality and schedule of outsourced construction teams and maintenance contractors.
