Metallurgy Field Specialist

We are seeking a Foundry Manager (Supervisor) or similar role to play a crucial role in providing turnkey manufacturing solutions to industrial clients that work with metal and plastic components.

This is a great position for a someone who has strong experience working in a foundry and who can enjoy:

• No more weekend work or calls at inconvenient times.
• No longer having to worry about all problems coming to you and getting phone calls all the time.
• No longer being tied to the job 24/7
• Not having to deal with the physically demanding aspects of working in the foundry

The ideal candidate should have hands‑on experience managing foundry operations, including casting, molding, and pouring processes. This role involves working on‑site with both customers and suppliers to identify and solve problems effectively.

• Collaborate directly with customers to ensure metal components are designed for optimal manufacturability.
• Assess and recommend the best manufacturing processes or metallurgical options from prototyping to production.
• Identify and troubleshoot part quality issues, working with foundry and machining facilities to achieve desired results.

• Support account managers by providing technical expertise to enhance their sales efforts.

• Proficiency in engineering solutions to drive profitability.
• Direct experience managing ferrous and non‑ferrous foundry processes.

• Experience in defect analysis of castings.
• Expertise in nondestructive examinations of metal parts (e.g. Visual, Magnetic Particle, Liquid Penetrant, Radiography, Pressure, and Ultrasonic testing).
• Excellent communication skills for both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Ability to perform effectively under high pressure and stressful situations.
• A strong drive to succeed.
• Effective organizational skills.
• A minimum of a bachelor s degree in Metallurgy, Materials Science, or Engineering.
