The Role You will own full P&L and operational responsibility: build the team, commission equipment, establish SOPs and HSE systems, and drive throughput, yield, quality, and cost efficiency from day one. Key Responsibilities • Commissioning & Setup – Lead installation, commissioning, and trial runs of shredders, sortation lines (incl. eddy curre, furnaces (reverberato, flux injection, and ing casting lines. Create SOPs, preventive maintenance plans, critical spares lists, and training matrices. • Raw Materials & Processing – Define and enforce scrap specs (e.g., Twitch, Tai, Tread, Talk, 6063, UBC, extrusion scrap). Set inbound verification, moistu limits, radiation checks, and segregation strategy. • Metallurgy & Quality – Develop melt recip strategies (e.g., ADC12/A380/LM24/AlSi9Cu3/6xxx) to meet customer specs. Run in-process QC with spectromet analysis; manage dross, salt slag, and inclusions. Implement ISO 9001/14001/45001-ready systems; lead audits and certification roadmap. • Cost & Performance – Own mass balance, yield, energy intensity (k consumption, refractory life, and scrap recovery.
