We make high-quality products while supporting our teams and local communities by providing great careers in a safe, respectful, and innovative environment.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in technical sales or business development within manufacturing and a demonstrated ability to develop customer relationships in engineered component markets. Experience in investment casting, metalcasting, aerospace, defense, energy, medical, industrial equipment, or related industries is strongly preferred.

- Maintain an active pipeline of qualified opportunities and provide regular updates to leadership.
Market Diversification
- Identify new industries and applications where the foundry's casting capabilities can be competitively positioned.
- Evaluate opportunities to diversify casting offerings by alloy, casting size, complexity, tolerance requirements, certification needs, or end-use market.
- Research competitor capabilities, pricing trends, customer needs, and market gaps.

- Coordinate internally with engineering, estimating, quality, operations, and metallurgy teams to evaluate manufacturability and quoting feasibility.
- Support technical discussions related to alloy selection, casting design, tooling, tolerances, surface finish, heat treatment, machining, inspection, and qualification requirements.
- Assist customers in converting machined, fabricated, forged, or welded components into investment castings where appropriate.
Quoting & Commercial Management
- Lead the commercial process for new business opportunities from initial inquiry through quote submission and award.
- Coordinate RFQs, NDAs, technical reviews, cost estimates, tooling quotes, lead times, and commercial proposals.
- Negotiate pricing, payment terms, tooling agreements, blanket orders, long-term agreements, and supply contracts.
- Track win/loss activity and use feedback to improve competitiveness.
Project Launch & Account Transition
- Support new product introduction from award through tooling, sampling, qualification, and first production orders.
- Serve as a bridge between the customer and internal teams during early-stage development.
- Ensure customer expectations are clearly communicated regarding lead times, quality requirements, documentation, and production readiness.
- Transition mature accounts to account management or customer service teams as appropriate while continuing to identify growth opportunities.
Reporting & Strategy
- Maintain accurate CRM records, sales pipeline status, forecasted revenue, and customer contact history.
- Provide regular reports on new business activity, quote volume, market trends, and growth opportunities.
- Participate in sales strategy meetings and contribute to annual growth planning.
- Recommend investments in certifications, alloys, equipment, finishing capabilities, or partnerships that may support market expansion.
SKILLS AND ABILITIES
- Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, specifications, and customer requirements.
- Proven track record of identifying, developing, and closing new business opportunities within manufacturing or engineered products.
- Excellent communication, presentation, negotiation, and relationship-building skills with technical and executive-level stakeholders.
- Ability to work cross-functionally with Engineering, Quality, Production, Estimating, Supply Chain, and Executive Leadership.
- Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, including investment casting, machining, fabrication, heat treatment, and finishing operations.
- Ability to evaluate component manufacturability and identify opportunities for design optimization and cost reduction.
- Experience managing long sales cycles involving multiple decision-makers and technical approvals.
- Strong commercial acumen with the ability to evaluate profitability, margins, pricing strategy, and business risk.
- Demonstrated success managing multiple RFQs, priorities, and customer opportunities simultaneously.
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret sales data, market trends, forecasting, and pipeline metrics.
- Self-motivated with the ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a collaborative team environment.
- Excellent organizational and project management skills with strong attention to detail.
- Comfortable presenting technical and commercial proposals to customers, engineering teams, and senior leadership.

Preferred
- Direct experience in investment casting, precision casting, foundry operations, or metal casting.
