Job Description
Zinc & Non-Ferrous Metallurgy is looking for an experienced Principal Environmental Compliance (Metallurgy) Plant Head (Strategy) to take ownership of the Environmental Compliance (Metallurgy) - Strategy & Planning charter at a senior level. This is a role for someone who has already operated at scale and is comfortable setting direction rather than simply following one.
The successful candidate will bring approximately 10 years of progressively senior experience, holding M.Tech (Metallurgy), with a demonstrated track record across Environmental Compliance (Metallurgy), Ore Processing & Beneficiation, Production Planning, Safety Management, Environmental Compliance (Pollution Control). Beyond individual capability, this role expects the person to mentor junior team members and represent the function in cross-departmental discussions.
Reporting relationships will be defined based on the final scope agreed at offer stage, and the role is based out of Delhi NCR on a full-time arrangement. Compensation is benchmarked at INR 8.9-27.6 LPA, reflecting the seniority and scope of the position.
Success in this role will be measured less by task completion and more by the quality of judgement applied to ambiguous, high-stakes situations within environmental compliance (metallurgy) - strategy & planning.
Applications without a clear summary of relevant experience are less likely to be shortlisted for the first round. Leave policy follows standard industry norms, including earned leave, sick leave, and public holidays as applicable. Expect a mix of scheduled reviews, ad-hoc troubleshooting, and documentation as the workload shifts through the week.
In addition to fixed pay, the role carries eligibility for annual appraisals and merit-based increments. Performance is reviewed on a structured cycle, with clear criteria for movement into the next band. Relocation assistance may be extended for candidates moving from a different city, subject to approval.
The team follows a flat structure where ideas are evaluated on merit rather than hierarchy, and feedback flows in both directions. There is a defined internal mobility path for people who want to specialise deeper or move into people management.
Cross-functional exposure is built into the role by design, so the person will regularly interact with adjacent teams and leadership. Priorities can shift mid-week depending on business needs, so adaptability matters as much as technical depth.
Interested candidates should be prepared to walk through relevant past work during the interview process. Shortlisted applicants will be evaluated on both domain knowledge and practical problem-solving ability.
Mornings are usually spent on planning and status reviews, while the rest of the day is given over to hands-on delivery and problem-solving. There's usually a block of uninterrupted time set aside for focused work, separate from meetings and coordination calls. Skip-level conversations with senior leadership are encouraged at least twice a year to discuss career direction.
A typical day starts with reviewing priority tasks and syncing with the immediate team before moving into focused execution work. Learning and certification support is available for tools and frameworks directly relevant to the role.
References may be requested closer to the offer stage rather than at the start of the process. The role alternates between independent deep work and short coordination huddles with stakeholders across functions. Disagreement on approach is expected and welcomed, provided it's backed by reasoning rather than preference alone.
