Senior Manager, Metallization Operations

Vulcan Elements is manufacturing American rare-earth permanent magnets for a secure, resilient future. With a focus on national security and economic resiliency, we serve critical industries such as defense, aerospace, and automotive powering a high-technology future. Vulcan Elements is building a team of ambitious professionals committed to Mission Focus, Technical Excellence and Integrity. 

This leader is hired before the metallization equipment is installed and is accountable for building the organization, shaping the operating design, commissioning and qualifying the process, and running it once it starts. The role will define the shift and staffing model, recruit and develop the operating team, provide hands-on operability input during design and equipment acceptance, lead startup from first metal through rate ramp, and then own safety, throughput, yield and recovery, quality, equipment performance and operating cost in steady state. 

This role begins in Durham, NC and is expected to move to Benson, NC upon completion of new facility.<
