A bit about us:
This is a multi facility foundry operation with a national footprint and a history of steady growth through acquisition. The Foundry group runs around the clock across four shifts, and leadership has built a reputation for moving fast on hiring decisions rather than dragging strong candidates through a long process.
Why join us?
This is a director level seat with real scope, close to sixty hourly employees across four shifts sit under this role. Compensation is structured to reward foundry leadership specifically, a strong base plus a meaningful annual bonus, and relocation support is on the table for the right candidate. The interview process is short by design, an initial conversation with the general manager, a follow up with the vice president, and a final round with leadership for the right fit.
