Job Description & How to Apply Below
- The Quality Manager owns day-to-day casting quality at the client aluminum sand casting facility, including machining, working under the direction of the General Manager.
- This is a hands-on, on-the-floor role whose signature strength is root-cause analysis — leading the structured investigations that drive scrap and customers escapes down across all molding (nobake, green sand automatic, rotolift and floor) and machining operations.
- Beyond solving problems personally, this person mentors the existing quality team to own root-cause and corrective action themselves, building a group that leads improvement rather than reacts.
- The role also supports the company’s move to take defense work direct, including the requirements that flow into quality.
- This is a direct customer-facing role: the Quality Manager serves as a primary quality contact for customers and must communicate clearly and promptly to resolve inquiries and quality concerns as they arise.
- Root-Cause & Corrective Action (core of the role) Personally lead structured root-cause investigations (8D, 5-Why, A3, fishbone) on the highest-cost defects — sand inclusions, cracks, gas porosity, pressure-test failures, core defects, and dimensional non-conformance.
- Drive corrective actions to verified closure at the source — with melt, molding, core, and sand-system teams — rather than catching defects at final inspection.
- Mentor and coach the existing quality team in RCA and corrective-action discipline so investigations are owned at every level, not escalated by default.
- Build the team’s capability to lead, not follow.
- Familiarity with metallography, failure analysis, and the ability to distinguish between different casting defects would also be important.
