The Manager / Assistant Manager, Primary Metal - Titanium, plays a crucial role within the ATL, Primary Metals function, with a specific focus on producing Titanium components for aerospace casting applications. Your responsibilities will include overseeing the production process, leading a team, and ensuring the efficient manufacturing of high-quality titanium products. It is essential to implement best practices, optimize processes, and uphold strict quality standards to meet client specifications effectively. You will be responsible for various key tasks such as supervising daily production activities related to Titanium manufacturing, ensuring compliance with production schedules and targets. Quality control measures need to be implemented to guarantee that titanium products meet the required specifications, including dimensional accuracy and material properties. Managing inventory levels of raw materials, intermediates, and finished products is also crucial to support production requirements and minimize stockouts or excess inventory. Coordinating maintenance activities for production equipment to reduce downtime and ensure reliable operation is part of your duties. Additionally, you will need to communicate with suppliers to ensure timely delivery of raw materials and resolve any supply chain issues that may impact production. Monitoring production performance metrics like yield, scrap rate, and cycle time is essential to track performance trends and identify areas for improvement. Efficiently managing the operation of various equipment such as VAR, Compact Hydraulic Press machine, WBU, PAM, EBCHR, as per SOP and defined parameters is a critical aspect of this role. Implementing and monitoring strict protocols for maintaining an inert or vacuum atmosphere during melting processes is necessary to prevent contamination. Collaborating with materials sourcing teams and metallurgists to adjust alloy compositions and oversee casting operations are also part of your responsibilities. To be eligible for this position, you should hold a Bachelor's degree in Materials Science, Metallurgical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field for the Assistant Manager position. A Master's degree is preferred for the Manager position. You should have 4-12 years of proven experience handling the production of Superalloy Ingots for any foundry or casting manufacturing industry. Your technical expertise should include in-depth knowledge of metallurgy and materials science, understanding of the vacuum arc melting process, and experience in overseeing ingot casting processes. Proficiency in managing and optimizing HIP, heat treatment processes, and implementing non-destructive testing methods is essential. Strong organizational skills and compliance with quality and performance standards are necessary to ensure effective titanium components manufacturing processes. Ensuring a safe work environment, continuous improvement practices, and adherence to quality control measures throughout the manufacturing process will be key aspects of your role as the Manager / Assistant Manager, Primary Metal - Titanium.,
