Job Description
The Graduate Trainee Engineers Program (GTE Program) 2025 is an early-career initiative designed by Maple Leaf Cement Factory Limited to identify, train, and develop the next generation of engineering professionals. The GTE Program runs across various engineering functions and is tailored to ensure maximum learning, exposure, and performance monitoring.
Selected candidates will be deployed to different departments based on their academic background, such as mechanical maintenance, process operations, electrical systems, quality assurance, instrumentation, and utility management. They will work under the direct supervision of department heads and engineering managers while receiving classroom training from subject-matter experts.
This is a full-time, paid program where the focus is on professional development through real-time problem-solving and team engagement. Each trainee is expected to take ownership of daily engineering operations, contribute to project tasks, and gradually build competencies that match industry requirements.
Key Responsibilities
Engineering Operations
- Assist in running daily plant activities, ensuring adherence to safety, quality, and environmental standards.
- Participate in operational reviews of cement production lines including kilns, raw mills, and finish mills.
- Support preventive and predictive maintenance tasks and schedule follow-ups for key rotating and static equipment.
Project Participation
- Work as a junior resource in plant upgrade or expansion projects.
- Assist in technical evaluations, equipment specifications, and layout designs.
- Conduct technical data collection and report on project progress.
Troubleshooting and Documentation
- Investigate technical faults and suggest corrective measures based on guidance from senior staff.
- Document troubleshooting actions, recurring issues, and preventive actions taken.
- Support documentation for ISO, health & safety audits, and system compliance.
Quality and Process Optimization
- Analyze process parameters (temperature, pressure, fuel consumption, emissions) and recommend adjustments.
- Monitor product quality at various stages and coordinate with quality assurance labs.
- Assist in laboratory and in-process testing to ensure product quality.
Technical Reporting and Communication
- Prepare engineering reports, equipment failure analyses, and routine technical updates.
- Present findings to senior management during weekly or monthly reviews.
- Attend internal workshops, safety seminars, and quality briefings.
Continuous Learning
- Participate in classroom sessions on technical subjects (e.g., thermodynamics, control systems, cement chemistry).
- Undergo performance evaluations at set milestones—typically 3, 6, and 12 months.
- Receive mentoring from department heads and technical experts.
This program is designed to create plant-ready engineers, which means trainees will not only gain technical knowledge but will also be prepared to take full-time roles in the plant once the program concludes.
