This is a "low-red-tape" environment where the investment group is actively funneling money back into technology and employee development.

• Direct all chemical and mechanical laboratory operations, ensuring accurate, timely, and economical metallurgical services to support foundry and machine shop production
• Lead a specialized technical team, providing direct supervision and mentorship to the Metallurgical Engineer, Process Engineer, and Metal Lab technicians
• Establish and optimize melting and heat-treating practices, defining analytical methods and determining dispositions for any out-of-specification heats
• Oversee comprehensive process control testing for sand and investment casting, including SPC charting of sands, slurries, and coatings to improve overall quality
• Serve as a technical subject matter expert, providing metallurgical assistance to resolve quality issues and offering high-level support to customers and sales teams
  
  

The background of the successful candidate must include the following:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Metallurgy or Metallurgical Engineering (or a related Engineering/Industrial field)
• 5 years of progressive experience in steel manufacturing, with a strong preference for casting or forging environments
• Proven leadership ability, with a few years of management experience and the desire to mentor a technical team in a fast-paced setting
• Technical knowledge of quality management systems and compliance requirements for Nuclear, Military, Aerospace, and PED sectors
• Strong analytical skills with proficiency in Statistical Process Control (SPC), Design of Experiments (D.O.E.), and Lean/Six Sigma methodologies
