Jobs at Doncasters

Lead product development and introduce new investment-cast superalloy components from quote to production. Define metallurgical and manufacturing processes, interpret complex engineering drawings, support exotic metal fabrications, manage customer deliverables, and drive continuous improvement while ensuring safety and quality.

Operate vacuum furnaces and related equipment to melt and prepare metal charges for precision casting. Load/unload furnaces using forklifts/cranes, prepare launders and molds, assist with heat tapping, maintain records, follow safety and quality procedures, and support efficient furnace turnaround.

Lead shift-level manufacturing operations for precision aerospace cast components. Drive productivity, OTIF delivery, process optimization, tooling and equipment utilization, capital projects, and cross-functional collaboration with maintenance, engineering, and quality.

Lead lean transformation in a precision manufacturing plant: drive Kaizen and Hoshin planning, run TPM and root-cause analysis, perform time-studies, build visual management, manage improvement projects, train staff on 5S and lean, and deliver measurable KPI improvements (Productivity, OEE, Rework).

Supervise manufacturing operations to produce quality aerospace cast components. Ensure process control, safety, OTIF delivery, productivity, and continuous improvement. Train and develop staff, manage performance, use ERP and planning systems, and coordinate with maintenance, engineering, and quality teams.

Develop, validate, and execute CMM inspection programs (PC-DMIS/Calypso) for precision aerospace components. Perform FAI and in-process inspections, interpret drawings/GD&T, analyze data, report results, troubleshoot measurement issues, maintain CMM calibration, and support continuous improvement.

Operate vacuum furnaces to melt metals, prepare and verify materials, load heat charges using forklifts/cranes, prepare launders and molds, assist with heat tapping, maintain records, ensure safety and efficient furnace turnaround.

Perform fluorescent penetrant inspections (FPI Level II) on investment castings and wax patterns to specified procedures. Read/interpret blueprints, use gauging/measuring tools, ensure quality and defect detection, and meet production goals on night shift.

Entry-level Ceramics Engineer supporting aerospace investment casting. Own mold-building, dewax, mold firing and preparation for casting; identify and control key process variables; investigate and optimize processes; create automation programs/recipes; partner with operations on testing and verification; follow safety requirements and participate in cross-functional rotations and mentorship.

Develop and optimize ceramic materials, molds and cores for investment casting in aerospace. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve manufacturability and processes, perform testing and evaluation for quality compliance, and implement new materials and technologies to drive continuous improvement.

Ensure manufactured products meet quality standards by generating certification packs, managing quality issues, performing root cause analysis and corrective actions, auditing processes, maintaining control plans, monitoring KPIs (scrap, rework, PPM), training production staff, and submitting First Article Inspection and process approvals.

Lead day-to-day manufacturing operations for a designated product mix, ensuring safety, quality, process control, staffing, training, performance management, and continuous improvement using Lean methods to meet production schedules.

Lead process and continuous improvement initiatives in a manufacturing facility using CAD for layouts, modeling, vendor integration, and project management. Manage ~$3M CapEx and $1M turnaround budgets, apply LEAN/Six Sigma, implement automation and PLC controls, and support operations to improve productivity. Hybrid role with occasional travel and irregular hours.

Lead plant-level process and continuous-improvement projects to boost productivity and implement sustainable manufacturing solutions. Serve as Manufacturing, Process, and Continuous Improvement Engineer, working cross-functionally to solve production problems, deploy automation and PLC controls, manage capital projects, and apply Lean/Six Sigma methods in a precision aerospace casting facility.

Work as a Vacuum Ingot Processor performing hands-on metal processing tasks using power tools (drills, saws). Role focuses on manual fabrication/processing of ingots in a team-oriented manufacturing environment, emphasizing safety, quality, and adherence to company values.
