Job Description

PwC is looking for a seasoned operations professional to join our Advisory practice. You will bridge the gap between traditional industrial operations and the future of sustainable manufacturing. Leveraging your 8+ years of hands-on experience in Chemicals, Pulp & Paper, or FMCG, you will advise C-suite clients on optimizing their assets while integrating New Green Technologies (e.g., Decarbonization, Circular Economy, Hydrogen, and Bio-based processes).

Key Responsibilities

Operational Transformation: Lead end-to-end operational diagnostics to identify inefficiencies in manufacturing processes, yield optimization, and supply chain flow.
Green Tech Integration: Act as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for transitioning traditional plants to green alternatives. This includes assessing the feasibility of carbon capture, renewable energy integration, and waste-to-energy systems.
Project Leadership: Manage complex advisory workstreams, from initial strategy and techno-economic feasibility studies to the practical "boots on the ground" implementation of process improvements.
Client Relationship Management: Build trust with Plant Managers and COO-level stakeholders by demonstrating deep "floor-level" empathy and technical authority.
Capability Building: Mentor junior consultants on the technical nuances of process industries (e.g., mass balance, thermal efficiency, and chemical safety).

Required Qualifications & Skills

8–9 years of professional experience with a significant portion spent in on-site operations within:

Chemicals: Specialty chemicals, petrochemicals, or agro-chemicals.

Pulp & Paper: Large-scale mill operations and fiber processing.

FMCG: High-speed manufacturing/packaging lines (Food, Beverage, or Home Care).

2. Green Technology Expertise

Practical experience in implementing or managing Sustainable Technology at an operational level.

Familiarity with Decarbonization frameworks, Net-Zero roadmaps, or Circularity in manufacturing (e.g., water recycling, solvent recovery, or bio-plastics).

3. Functional Skills

Deep understanding of Lean Six Sigma, TPM, or Operational Excellence frameworks.

Strong knowledge of Process Safety Management (PSM) and EHS standards.

Ability to translate complex technical data into business-driven ROI for executive presentations.

Location: Kolkata/ Bangalore
