Foundry Technical Manager
Location: Wielka Brytania, Birmingham
Job description
You may have spent your whole career in the technical and operational parts of a foundry, or you may have come through the commercial route; either way, you’re an expert in either iron or green sand. You have very strong experience in foundry production and will be able to point to numerous examples of problem-solving, both large and small scale.
You’ll have experience in continuous improvement and will be well versed in lean manufacturing principles. It is likely that you have spent a period of time in a world-class manufacturing and production environment and will be ready to apply what you’ve learned to a growing, changing foundry where innovation is at its heart.
Requirements
The Foundry Director and the management team has pulled together some key objectives for 2018, which are as follows, and which we’ll explore in detail with you:
Develop a business plan with Foundry Director, with KPIs to include:
1. Scrap rates
2. Yield
3. Metal cost per tonne by grade (reduction)
4. Measured % GM improvement on parts.
This role is one that will challenge and develop you in a way that few others could. To do well, you’ll need to be a humble expert – someone who knows what they’re capable of, knows their field and knows when to put forward and back a solution, but doesn’t feel the need to shout about it. The foundry is a down to earth place, and a robust sense of Competitive is essential, as is self-awareness and the desire to be part of a well-functioning team.
We’re looking for someone quite special. You’ll need to be hands on, but able to see the bigger commercial picture. You’ll have a firm understanding of strategy, you’ll be an imaginative problem-solver; you’ll want to get involved when there’s a problem, but you’ll also enjoy helping others in your team develop their skillset, fostering continuous development and supporting growth. You’ll be delighted when someone in your team knows more than you and you’ll share the achievements of your team widely and proudly.
We offer
Competitive salary (19000-20000zł per month) and relocation.
