What You'll Do Process Improvement & Optimization:

Identify plant bottlenecks, perform root-cause analysis (RCA), and implement data-driven initiatives to reduce waste (scrap/slag) and improve yield.

Technical Ownership:

Provide immediate engineering support to production and maintenance teams to resolve day-to-day operational challenges.

Standardization:

Develop, refine, and enforce clear Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure repeatable quality, operational stability, and strong safety compliance.

Quality & Data Analytics:

Collaborate with metallurgical quality teams to investigate defects, leverage Statistical Process Control (SPC), and improve final product consistency.

Sustainability & Safety:

Lead process adjustments that support energy efficiency, emissions reduction, and a safety-first workplace culture.

The Candidate Will Possess Education:

A Bachelor's degree in Metallurgical, Chemical, Materials, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.

Industrial Experience:

Practical background or exposure to heavy manufacturing, primary metals, or foundry operations (steelmaking environment strongly preferred).

Ongoing professional development and training opportunities Key Performance Metrics (KPIs) for

Success Production & Efficiency:

Drive overall yield improvement, increase production rates (tons per hour), and reduce energy consumption and operating costs per ton.

Quality & Reliability:

Lower scrap and rework rates, improve First-Pass Yield (FPY) and Process Capability Index, and reduce quality-related customer complaints.

Safety & Environment:

Minimize safety incident rates, reduce environmental excursions, and lower hazardous waste generation.

Project Execution & Support:

Complete capital and process improvement projects on time and on budget while maximizing ROI and maintaining SOP compliance.
