Provide technical training and presentations to sales teams, field service, and customers to strengthen tundish and ingot product knowledge.
Collect and analyze process and performance data, driving continuous improvement initiatives.
Monitor competitor technologies, customer feedback, and market trends to guide future product development.
Develop technical documentation including procedures, process maps, and reports to support field applications.
Travel regularly to customer sites across North America (and internationally as needed).

Strong technical foundation in steelmaking processes with the ability to apply solutions in a production environment.
Excellent communication, presentation, and problem-solving skills with a customer-focused mindset.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office; experience with CAD or modeling tools is a plus.
Willingness to travel frequently.
What You’ll Gain
A hands-on, customer-facing role where your technical expertise directly impacts steelmaking operations.
The opportunity to shape and influence future tundish and ingot technologies through field applications.
A collaborative environment with global experts in metallurgy, product development, and operations.
