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).
