- Coordinate with Maintenance, Quality, Electrical, Utility and Dispatch teams for smooth operation.
- Hands-on
experience in high-speed wire rod block operation, including:
- Block stand setup and pass-line control
- Roll gap setting
- Guide setting and alignment
- Loop control and tension control
- Inter-stand speed/tension coordination
- Block temperature management
- Twist-free rolling and dimensional control
- Block cobble prevention and troubleshooting
- Ability to identify causes of dimensional variation, ovality, tension problems, loop instability, cobbles and surface defects.
- Experience in rebar production, preferably special-grade rebar.
