  • Proven experience in operational improvement initiatives that contributed to productivity, process capacity, quality, production throughput, cost control, or operational stability.

  • Lead or coordinate projects and technology deployments through direct and indirect influence to deliver agreed results at facilities and across the global network.
  • Validate processes and prepare new equipment and facility modifications for operational readiness; develop investment justification cases with relevant teams.
  • Facilitate qualification of new products by coordinating technical needs among facilities, customers, customer technical support, and commercial teams.
  • Transfer technologies and proven practices among facilities, including Lean production and reliability practices; compare performance and communicate technical information to varied stakeholders.

Desired Qualifications

  • Direct experience with vertical direct chill (VDC) casting of billets or slabs is strongly desired.
  • Experience in process optimization, operational problem-solving, and technology deployment in production is an important asset.
  • Experience in Lean production, equipment reliability, commissioning, operational readiness, investment cases, and transfer of best practices is particularly valued.
