The industry
Remote sites, statutory roles and safety-critical work
Metals and mining employers hire for some of India’s most demanding sites: open-cast mines, integrated steel plants and processing units, often far from major cities. Many roles are statutory, such as mine managers and safety officers, and must be filled by qualified, certified people.
TNSL knows these operations from the inside. For a coking coal mine in Jharkhand, TNSL designed the complete HR function, from organisation structure and grades to standing orders and the statutory compliance calendar.
