Supervisor Process Engineer

Job Description

SUPERVISOR/PROCESS ENGINEER 

Job Description

We are the world leader in the management of nickel and cobalt base super-alloy and titanium alloy recycling for the aerospace, land-based turbine, and chemical industries. The company transforms revert, through rigorous process, into material which can be re-melted, to produce new nickel, cobalt, or titanium alloys. Revert consists of excess alloy material which can arise from high performance component manufacturing, from decommissioned parts, and from the melting process. We provide customers with a range of tailored revert management services designed to enable them to optimize the use and value of their own revert material.

Accredited with all major vacuum and high temperature melters worldwide, supplies fully processed nickel and titanium revert material to the melting industry. We also purchase revert material from a wide range of industrial customers throughout the world. For our customers, the recovery of valuable revert from their alloy production and alloy component manufacturing processes for re-use, is vital for control and reduction of production costs.

The process of transforming revert into higher value, melt-ready material is a complex process with contamination minimization and material traceability at its core. To optimize revert recovery and recycling, many of the world’s largest producers of complex alloys and components for the aerospace industry have chosen to outsource this function to us, the world leader in super-alloy and titanium Revert Management.
