Job Description
**Head of Environmental Compliance (Metallurgy) Process Engineer (QA)** | Hyderabad | Leadership - Full-time | INR 31.1-71.8 LPA
**About the role:**
- Position within Environmental Compliance (Metallurgy) - Quality & Compliance, under the Zinc & Non-Ferrous Metallurgy vertical
- Level: senior level
- Reports to the functional head for Environmental Compliance (Metallurgy) - Quality & Compliance
**What you'll do:**
- Handle core environmental compliance (metallurgy) - quality & compliance activities on a day-to-day basis
- Use Environmental Compliance (Pollution Control) regularly as part of core deliverables
- Work closely with adjacent teams to align priorities
- Track progress against agreed timelines and escalate issues proactively
**What you'll need:**
- Environmental Compliance (Pollution Control)
- Quality
- Ore Processing & Beneficiation
- Environmental Compliance (Metallurgy)
- Quality Control (Metals)
- Compliance
- M.Tech (Metallurgy)
- 15+ years of relevant experience
**Good to know:**
- Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band. A typical day starts with reviewing priority tasks and syncing with the immediate team before moving into focused execution work.
- Candidates are encouraged to highlight measurable outcomes from previous roles rather than just responsibilities held. Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval. Benefits include health insurance, provident fund contributions, and paid leave in line with company policy.
- Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process. The next logical step from this position is a senior or lead-track role within the same function.
- Work culture here leans collaborative, with regular knowledge-sharing sessions and an open-door policy for raising concerns. No two days look identical - some are heavy on execution, others are spent largely in planning and cross-team discussions.
- Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability. Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth.
- High performers in this role typically move into a broader ownership scope within 18-24 months. Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round. Cross-functional exposure is built into the role by design, so the person will regularly interact with adjacent teams and leadership.
- Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role. Disagreement on approach is expected and welcomed, provided it's backed by reasoning rather than preference alone.
- Managers here tend to give context rather than instructions, leaving room for the individual to decide how a task gets done. Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable.
- Internal job postings are open to employees who've completed a minimum tenure in their current role. In addition to fixed pay, the role carries eligibility for annual appraisals and merit-based increments. The environment rewards initiative - people who flag problems early and propose fixes tend to grow faster here.
- New joiners typically get a short structured onboarding before being handed independent ownership of their first deliverables. The organisation has historically promoted from within for a majority of its senior and lead openings.
- The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions. The organisation places a premium on ownership; once a task is assigned, the expectation is to see it through without hand-holding.
