Direct aluminum experience is not required . We are open to leaders from metals, steel, foundry, casting, smelting, extrusion, plastics extrusion, and other relevant industrial manufacturing environments.
Responsibilities- Lead and develop a department of approximately 30–40 employees

- Comfortable managing approximately 30–40 employees
- Comfortable working in a hands-on, heavy industrial environment
- Strong shop-floor leadership presence
- Ability to work with production-related math and chemistry

Experience in any of the following environments can translate well:
- Furnace or melting operations
- Smelting
- Foundry operations
- Casting
- Extrusion
