Operations Manager (India) Full Time

Location: Vadodara, Gujarat, India

Compensation: ₹1,146,082 – ₹1,555,303 INR

Industry: Clean Energy | Cryogenics | Industrial Manufacturing | Aftermarket Services | LNG Infrastructure

Lead the Operations Behind Critical Industrial & Clean Energy Infrastructure

This is not a traditional plant or workshop management role.

This is an opportunity to lead a highly visible aftermarket service operation supporting mission-critical industrial and clean energy infrastructure across global markets.

As the Operations Manager, you will oversee the daily operations of a fast-paced customer service and repair center supporting cryogenic equipment, industrial gas systems, LNG infrastructure, and rotating equipment technologies. Your leadership will directly impact operational efficiency, profitability, customer satisfaction, safety, and long-term business growth.

You’ll partner across operations, engineering, customer service, supply chain, finance, and leadership teams to ensure repairs, maintenance, and service activities are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

If you thrive in industrial service environments, enjoy leading teams, improving operational performance, and driving continuous improvement initiatives — this is a strong leadership opportunity with global visibility and long-term career growth potential.
