This is a leadership position for someone who is comfortable working both in the laboratory and managing the people and processes that keep the lab operating efficiently.

Key ResponsibilitiesLaboratory Management

Manage the daily operations of the metallurgical laboratory.
Supervise, train, and develop laboratory technicians and personnel.
Establish and maintain consistent testing procedures and laboratory workflows.
Ensure testing is performed accurately, efficiently, and in accordance with applicable specifications and standards.
