Job Title: Technical Manager (Must have Metallurgy experience within the Castings Industry)

Location: Stourbridge

Shift Patterns: 06:00 - 16:30 Monday - Friday (Must be willing to do overtime)

We are proud to be working with a fast-growing castings company that has secured an impressive five-year order book (a rare achievement in 2026) and a clear sign of their strength and stability. This is an exciting opportunity to join a business that is investing in its people, its technology, and its future.

As Technical Manager, you'll play a key role in shaping processes, driving efficiency, and ensuring the highest standards of quality. You'll be a hands-on leader with a passion for continuous improvement, mentoring, and technical excellence.

This role may also suit someone who isn't yet a Technical Manager but is technically talented, with strong process control and process management experience, and ready to take the next step in their career.

What you will be doing:

Driving improvements in safety, efficiency, utilisation, and housekeeping across the site.
Implementing best-practice process control tools to optimise yield and minimise waste.
Coordinating testing programmes, certifications, and quality assurance protocols.
Leading root cause analysis investigations and embedding corrective/preventive actions.
Supporting transition from manual to automated grinding, reducing scrap and rework.
Collaborating with suppliers, machinists, and customers to keep ahead of new technologies.
Overseeing metrology, 3D scanning, and virtual assemblies, while developing team capability.
Embedding a culture of "right first time, every time" throughout the department

What we're looking for:

A strong background in castings within a foundry.
Experience with process improvement, quality systems, and technical leadership.
Knowledge of tools such as Magmasoft simulation would be an advantage.
A proven ability to mentor, inspire, and manage technical teams.
Someone who thrives in a fast-paced, forward-thinking environment.
Someone either already in a Technical Manager role or ready to take that next step.

Why join our client?

Long-term security with a 5+ year order book.
A company committed to investing in people and technology.
Chance to shape the future of a thriving manufacturer.
Competitive salary, benefits, and real career progression.

If you're technically skilled, ambitious, and looking to make your mark in a growing business, we'd love to hear from you.
