The Process Instrumentation Supervisor – Mixing/Baking/Cooking oversees the calibration, maintenance, troubleshooting, and performance of process-critical instrumentation associated with thermal and batch processes. The role ensures accurate and reliable sensor feedback for mixers, ovens, cookers, kettles, and baking systems to maintain product quality, consistency, and compliance with food safety standards.
Supervise the routine calibration and maintenance of field instruments like temperature sensors, flow meters, pressure transmitters, and level switches used in cooking and baking processes.
Ensure calibration records and logs meet industry standards and internal SOPs (HACCP, GMP, ISO 22000).
Schedule and perform preventive and corrective maintenance activities.
Oversee the installation and commissioning of new instrumentation systems for new or upgraded process lines.
Collaborate with automation teams to ensure proper integration of instruments into PLC/SCADA or batch control systems.
Investigate sensor failures, loop signal issues, and calibration drift across cooking/mixing/baking systems.
Use tools such as HART communicators, loop calibrators, and multimeters to verify signal integrity and sensor performance.
Maintain and manage instrumentation calibration certificates, PM schedules, and inspection checklists.
Ensure all instrumentation activities comply with food safety and hygiene standards.
Support internal and third-party audits and regulatory inspections.
Guide and supervise instrument technicians, assign daily tasks, and ensure safety protocols are followed.
Provide hands-on training in instrument troubleshooting, hygienic design principles, and SOP adherence.
