Integrated Steel Plant O&M
55+ operators and maintenance staff across coke ovens, blast furnace, and SMS at a major integrated steel plant. Multi-year deployment with steady production targets met.
India is the world’s second-largest steel producer, with integrated plants, mini mills, DRI units, and secondary processing across the country. Each operates in extreme-heat, heavy-equipment environments that demand specialist technical manpower.




Metro Manpower supplies technical manpower for metals and steel manufacturing facilities across India. Our candidates have experience in blast furnace operations, steel melting shops (BOF/EAF), continuous casting, hot and cold rolling mills, DRI kilns, and downstream processing — plus non-ferrous plants including aluminium smelters, copper refineries, zinc, and ferro-alloy facilities.
Metals plants operate in some of the most physically demanding conditions in heavy industry — extreme heat, molten metal handling, and heavy mechanical equipment. Our deployed manpower is specifically screened for fitness, heat-stress tolerance, and metals safety protocols including molten-metal emergency procedures and crane-operated hot-zone work.
What sets Metro apart in metals & steel manpower is plant-specific familiarity. Our operators don’t just know ‘steel plants’ — they know the difference between a BOF and an EAF shop, between a coal-based rotary kiln and a gas-based shaft furnace, between a hot strip mill and a wire rod mill. Our candidates have worked with Tata Steel, JSW, SAIL, Jindal, and major private steel operators — at integrated plants, DRI units, and rolling mills.
We cover the full lifecycle — from primary steelmaking (coke oven, sinter, BF, BOF/EAF, casting) through DRI and secondary operations, to rolling & downstream (hot strip, cold rolling, galvanizing, wire drawing) and new-plant construction & expansion. Our maintenance staff understand both legacy Indian plant equipment and modern automated installations.

From primary steelmaking to DRI and secondary operations to rolling & downstream — we supply the full spectrum of metals & steel roles.
Blast furnace operators, SMS operators (BOF/EAF), and caster operators for integrated steel manufacturing. Coke oven, sinter plant, BF, BOF/EAF, and continuous-casting experience across Tata Steel, SAIL, JSW, and Jindal plants.
DRI kiln operators, charge-preparation engineers, and induction furnace operators. Coal-based rotary kiln, gas-based shaft furnace, and sponge-iron operations — with experience across India’s large secondary-steel base.
Rolling mill operators for hot strip, cold rolling, plate, and bar/rod mills. Also galvanizing, tinning, wire drawing — and non-ferrous lines including aluminium smelters, copper refineries, zinc, and ferro-alloy facilities.

ExploreEvery metals plant demands a specific mix of disciplines. We supply qualified professionals across operations, maintenance & technical, and quality & safety.
BF top charging, tuyere-level operations, cast-house, and hot-metal handling — experienced across Tata Steel, JSW, SAIL, and Jindal integrated plants.
Steel melting shop operations — basic oxygen furnace and electric arc furnace — charge making, oxygen blowing, tapping, and ladle metallurgy.
Continuous casting machine operation, tundish preparation, mould-level control, and slab/billet/bloom cut-to-length handling.
Coal-based rotary-kiln and gas-based shaft-furnace operation, charge preparation, sponge-iron quality, and discharge handling.
Hot strip, cold rolling, plate, bar/rod, and wire mill operations — with experience on modern automated control and legacy mill equipment.
Furnace lining, ladle maintenance, tundish preparation, and refractory relining campaigns for BF, BOF/EAF, and reheating furnaces.
High-pressure hydraulic systems for presses, mill stands, descalers, and strip-handling lines — including hot-metal hydraulic circuits.
Mill-drive motors, gear boxes, couplings, and AGC systems for hot and cold rolling mills — legacy DC drives through modern AC drives.
Hot-metal cranes, ladle cranes, EOT cranes, and coil-handling cranes — preventive and breakdown maintenance in extreme-heat zones.
Process metallurgy, heat-treatment, alloy design, and product-quality optimization across primary and secondary steelmaking routes.
Chemical-analysis labs, mechanical testing (tensile, impact, hardness), and dimensional inspection across hot-rolled and cold-rolled products.
Microstructure analysis, inclusion rating, grain-size measurement, and failure investigation for steel product quality assurance.
Process-yield improvement, heat-balance studies, energy optimization, and technology upgrades across integrated and secondary plants.
NEBOSH/ADIS-qualified officers with heat-stress management, molten-metal handling, and crane-safety protocol expertise.
Emission monitoring, effluent treatment, dust-control systems, and statutory-compliance reporting for steel and non-ferrous plants.
For integrated steel plants we deploy blast-furnace, SMS (BOF/EAF), continuous-casting, and hot-strip crews — plus coke oven, sinter plant, and by-product operators. Experienced with Tata Steel, JSW, SAIL, and Jindal integrated operations. Heat-stress screened, refractory-aware, and production-target ready.
For DRI, secondary steel, and rolling operations we supply kiln operators, induction-furnace crews, rolling mill operators (hot strip, cold rolling, plate, wire rod, bar), and downstream galvanizing, tinning, and wire-drawing teams. Non-ferrous lines covered too — aluminium, copper, zinc, ferro-alloy.

Delivering metals manpower wherever India’s steel and non-ferrous sector operates — from Tata Steel, JSW, SAIL, and Jindal integrated plants to DRI clusters and rolling mills, plus international steel operations.










Active deployment across India’s metals clusters — Jharkhand (Jamshedpur, Bokaro), Odisha (Kalinganagar, Angul), Chhattisgarh (Bhilai, Raipur), Karnataka (Vijayanagar, Toranagallu), Maharashtra (Dolvi), Gujarat (Hazira), Tamil Nadu (Salem), and Andhra Pradesh — and international steel and non-ferrous operations.
Metals plants demand heat-stress resilience, refractory specialization, and dual-era equipment knowledge. Here’s how Metro’s 19-year approach directly solves them.
Blast-furnace temperatures exceed 2,000°C and SMS areas run molten steel around the clock. Metro screens candidates for heat-stress management, molten-metal emergency procedures, and hot-zone PPE discipline — so deployed crews are physically and procedurally ready on day one.
Furnace lining, ladle maintenance, and tundish preparation require metallurgy-specific maintenance skills not found in other industries. Metro maintains a dedicated pool of refractory engineers with proven BF, BOF/EAF, and reheating-furnace relining experience.
Many Indian steel plants operate decades-old equipment alongside modern installations. Metro’s maintenance staff understand both legacy (DC drives, older mill stands, manual controls) and contemporary systems (AC drives, AGC, automated rolling lines) — so both worlds are covered.
