Job Offering Company Introduction

Liberty Mills Limited is one of Pakistan’s largest and most established textile processing companies, with a long industrial history that dates back to 1964. Headquartered in Karachi, the company operates in the industrial heart of the city and has steadily expanded from modest beginnings into a major export-oriented textile manufacturer. Over the decades, Liberty Mills Limited has built a strong reputation for quality processing, large-scale production capability, and compliance with international standards demanded by global buyers.

The textile sector in Pakistan plays a significant role in the national economy, and Liberty Mills Limited stands among the key contributors in this industry. The company’s production is exported directly and indirectly to international customers, including vendors supplying globally recognized brands, department stores, and mail-order retailers. Its growth reflects not only production capacity but also continuous upgrades in technology, compliance systems, and operational management.

Liberty Mills operates with a structured manufacturing setup that includes processing units, utility systems, power generation infrastructure, and environmental management controls. Industrial textile processing requires large quantities of steam, heat energy, and controlled environmental systems to maintain fabric treatment quality. For this reason, boiler operations form a central part of the company’s technical backbone.

The company is certified under multiple internationally recognized standards, including ISO 9001:2015, Oeko-Tex, SA 8000:2014, GOTS, GRS, OCS, and STeP. These certifications are not simple labels but require rigorous compliance with quality management systems, environmental control procedures, worker welfare regulations, and operational documentation. Textile processing facilities must ensure that products meet international safety benchmarks, while their internal processes remain consistent and traceable.

Environmental responsibility is another pillar of Liberty Mills Limited’s operational philosophy. Textile processing consumes water, energy, and chemical inputs, which must be managed carefully to reduce environmental impact. The company follows global sustainability frameworks such as Higg Index, ZDHC, DETOX, Made in Green, BCI, and BEPI. These programs reflect its commitment to responsible manufacturing and pollution reduction.

Utility management, including boiler systems, turbines, and steam distribution networks, is essential for textile production. Boilers generate the steam required for processes such as dyeing, washing, drying, finishing, and thermal setting. In large textile units, an uninterrupted steam supply ensures stable production output and fabric quality consistency. A sudden drop in steam pressure or a breakdown in boiler systems can lead to production losses, operational delays, and safety risks.

Liberty Mills Limited places strong emphasis on environmental health and safety programs. Boiler systems operating on biomass and coal require strict compliance with emission standards, fuel management procedures, ash disposal protocols, and combustion monitoring. The company enforces adherence to regulatory frameworks and inspection standards to ensure safety and environmental protection.

As a large manufacturing organization employing over a thousand professionals, Liberty Mills recognizes the value of skilled technical leadership. Boiler operations, particularly those using biomass and coal-fired systems, require experienced engineers who understand combustion dynamics, thermodynamics, and high-pressure steam systems.

In line with its ongoing operational expansion and maintenance requirements, Liberty Mills Limited is currently hiring for the position of Deputy Manager – Boiler (Biomass & Coal). This is a senior-level technical role intended for professionals with substantial hands-on experience in manufacturing environments.

The selected candidate will be responsible for managing boiler operations in a high-demand textile manufacturing setting, ensuring steam continuity, operational efficiency, and compliance with environmental and safety standards.

Job Description

Liberty Mills Limited is seeking an experienced professional for the position of Deputy Manager – Boiler, specializing in biomass and coal-fired boiler operations. This role is based at the SITE Area, Karachi, and requires technical depth combined with operational leadership.

The textile manufacturing industry relies heavily on consistent steam generation. Steam drives heating systems, processing units, and drying operations. In biomass and coal-fired boiler systems, combustion efficiency and thermal control are critical for both cost management and safe operation.

The Deputy Manager – Boiler will oversee the daily operations of biomass and coal-fired boilers, ensuring uninterrupted and efficient steam generation. The role requires active monitoring of steam pressure levels, temperature control, fuel combustion efficiency, and emission parameters.

Combustion systems involve the controlled burning of fuel to release energy. In industrial boiler systems, this energy is transferred to water to generate steam. A strong understanding of thermodynamics is essential in this context. The fundamental relation governing steam systems can be expressed through energy balance principles:

genui{“math_block_widget_always_prefetched”:{“content”:”ΔU = Q – W”}}

This principle reflects the first law of thermodynamics, where the change in internal energy depends on heat input and work output. Boiler operations apply this concept practically, converting heat from fuel combustion into usable steam energy.

The Deputy Manager will monitor key operating parameters, including furnace temperature, flue gas composition, steam drum pressure, feedwater temperature, and combustion air flow. Any deviation from standard operating ranges must be addressed immediately to prevent inefficiencies or safety hazards.

Fuel management is another critical responsibility. Biomass and coal storage, feeding mechanisms, and consumption tracking must be systematically controlled. Biomass fuel often includes agricultural residues or organic materials, which may vary in moisture content and calorific value. Coal, similarly, has variable ash content and combustion characteristics.

Optimizing the fuel mix is essential to balance cost and efficiency. By adjusting combustion air ratios and fuel feed rates, the Deputy Manager can improve boiler performance and reduce operational expenses. Combustion chemistry relates to oxygen supply and fuel reaction rates. In simplified form, combustion efficiency relates to energy release from carbon content:

Maintaining proper oxygen levels ensures complete combustion, minimizing carbon monoxide emissions and fuel wastage.

The Deputy Manager will supervise boiler operators and technical staff, ensuring adherence to safe operating procedures. Leadership is critical, as boiler rooms operate under high-pressure conditions requiring constant vigilance.

Preventive maintenance planning is another core responsibility. Boilers, turbines, feed pumps, and associated utilities must undergo periodic inspection and servicing. The Deputy Manager will coordinate corrective actions in case of breakdowns and ensure minimal downtime.

Emission control and pollution management are integral parts of the role. Industrial boilers must comply with environmental standards regarding particulate matter, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and carbon emissions. The Deputy Manager will oversee ash handling systems and pollution control equipment such as electrostatic precipitators or bag filters.

Record-keeping is essential in industrial environments. Boiler logs, maintenance records, fuel consumption reports, and statutory documentation must be maintained accurately to meet regulatory inspections and internal audits.

Coordination with production and engineering teams is necessary to align steam generation with manufacturing demands. Textile production schedules fluctuate, and boiler output must adjust accordingly.

Energy efficiency initiatives are also part of the job scope. Identifying opportunities to reduce heat losses, improve feedwater recovery, and optimize combustion can significantly impact operational costs.

This position requires maturity, decision-making ability, and readiness to manage operations in a high-pressure industrial environment.
