Job Description

Are you the leader who sees the whole system and raises the bar every shift?

At Plant 10 in our Whitehall Casting Operation, we’re looking for a hands-on change agent who can knit together people, processes, and equipment. Picture yourself rolling out ABS, elevating EHS across shifts, and engaging teams to deliver safer, higher-quality outcomes at lower cost. Imagine walking the floor, spotting waste, and implementing better ways of working—then joining safety inspections and housekeeping audits to keep standards high.

Your impact

• Run a cohesive team: set direction in regular meetings, manage staffing and time, drive performance reviews, and assign work to meet plan.
• Develop talent with clear feedback—celebrate wins and address gaps with documented actions.
• Lead orientation and ongoing training so EHS rules are understood and policies, practices, procedures, and initiatives land with clarity.
• Maintain compliance with the collective bargaining agreement; work constructively with union officials and resolve grievances.
• Scrutinize production/operations reports; tackle manufacturing and maintenance problems to contain cost and avoid delays.
• Investigate deviations; recommend fixes that stabilize schedules, cost, quality, and other key variables.
• Equip teams with the right tools, equipment, and supplies; reinforce the help chain.
• Partner with management, engineering, and quality to strengthen machines/equipment and improve operating conditions.
• Review procedures for safety compliance and address concerns immediately.
• Design and implement new methods and procedures to improve operations and maximize labor/material utilization.
• Participate in plant safety inspections and housekeeping audits.
• Adhere to all EHS rules required for the work environment.
• And when needed, take on other duties as assigned.

How you operate

• Think end-to-end and break down silos between shifts and departments.
• Prioritize by the numbers—safety, quality, LU—and focus on net impact.
• Build relationships at every level; mentor, de-escalate, and resolve issues.
• Facilitate momentum by translating plans into action and deciding with imperfect information.
• Advocate for both customer specifications and manufacturing needs in planning.
• Balance immediate actions with a forward-looking strategy.
• Bring structure to complex multi-stakeholder work.
• Lead autonomously; make decisions confidently and embrace feedback.

Qualifications Minimum

• High school diploma or GED (accredited).
• 5+ years in manufacturing OR at least 1 year of Howmet supervisory/leadership experience.
• 5+ years of supervisory/managerial experience.

Preferred

• BS in Engineering or Business.
• Investment casting experience.
• Clear, confident presenter with customers, managers, and employees.
• Leadership that drives engagement and directly manages supervisors.
• Proficiency with lean, total quality, Six Sigma, and 6S to drive improvements.
• Strong technical understanding of manufacturing processes.
• Well-rounded analytical, problem-solving, communication, interpersonal, organizational, and negotiation skills.
• Financial literacy.
