About Puneet B.

Engineering Leader with 10+ years of experience in Heavy Engineering, Turnkey Process Lines, and Product Development.​Currently serving as a Senior Design Engineer at Metso, I specialize in Sustenance Engineering (REX), Safety Compliance (EN 1009), and driving design reliability for heavy mineral processing equipment. My career has evolved from hands-on design to strategic leadership, having previously served as an Assistant Manager (Design) at Vollert India.​What I bring to the table:​ Diverse Domain Expertise: My background spans the full spectrum of mechanical engineering—from designing high-precision Clean Room Equipment and Turnkey Industrial Process Lines (Surface Finishing & Coating) to executing massive Precast Concrete Machinery projects.​ Commercial & Operational Acumen: I don\'t just design for function; I design for profit. I have extensive experience in Product Costing, Value Engineering (VA/VE), and managing commercial tenders via the GeM Portal. I bridge the gap between technical innovation and business viability.​ Bilingual CAD/PLM Proficiency: I possess rare, dual proficiency in top-tier engineering software. I am an expert in Autodesk Inventor & Vault (from my time at KSW/Vollert) and currently manage complex assemblies in Siemens NX & Teamcenter at Metso.​ Global Collaboration: I thrive in cross-cultural environments, having successfully managed Technology Transfers from Germany and collaborated with global engineering centers to standardize designs and safety protocols.​I am passionate about mentoring teams, optimizing plant layouts, and implementing \"Design for Manufacturing\"(DFM) strategies that reduce lead times and costs.​Core Competencies: Heavy Machinery Design | Turnkey Project Management | Value Engineering (VA/VE)| Root Cause Analysis (REX)| SPM & Conveyor Systems | Siemens NX & Teamcenter | Autodesk Inventor & Vault.
