Industrial Support Manager

.  PURPOSE OF THE POSITION

The Support Manager consolidates under a single leadership the technical know-how, information systems, supply chain, inventory and investment project functions of Metals, ensuring that the operating divisions receive consistent, timely and fact-based support.

The position exists to guarantee that technical knowledge is captured, standardised and transferred across the organisation; that information systems and data integrity underpin management decisions; that materials, supplies and inventories are managed with the accuracy and discipline required by a non-ferrous manufacturing environment; and that investment projects are centrally structured, evaluated and followed through to completion.

The role operates primarily on a project basis: each priority initiative is set up as a defined project with objectives, scope, resources, milestones and measurable results, coordinating the contribution of the different areas involved. Beyond the direct management of the functions listed above, the Support Manager acts as an integrating and impartial interface between the departments of Metals and, where relevant, its counterparts within the Electric Group, translating operational issues into structured analysis and actionable recommendations for Executive Management.
