Foundry Methods Technician: We'll Teach You the Foundry Side

About Highland Foundry

Highland Foundry is one of North America's leading steel and stainless steel foundries. Our success rests on four pillars: a team of highly technically skilled people, a management team dedicated to continuous improvement, a culture that embraces new methods and technology, and a strong focus on the next generation of young professionals. Together, these have earned us a reputation for world-class, high-quality castings in every industry we serve.

We're a job shop with 115,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space, pouring over 140 unique alloys. We're known for stainless steel castings of high complexity in both geometry and specification, used in desalination, LNG, mining, nuclear, oil, and pulp and paper. With almost 50 years in business, we're a stable company that puts safety first and takes environmental stewardship seriously.

Who we're looking for

You don't need to know anything about foundries. We're looking for someone who:

- Is comfortable in 3D CAD (SolidWorks or similar) and enjoys turning a drawing into a model
- Has a technical background in engineering, mechanical or manufacturing technology, drafting, machining, welding, fabrication, or a similar discipline
- Is curious about how things are made and likes figuring out why a process works or doesn't
- Is detail-oriented and methodical, whether that comes from reading drawings, inspecting parts, or working to specs
- Communicates clearly and builds good working relationships with people on the shop floor and in the office
- Is self-motivated and wants a career, not just a job
- Is proficient with Windows Office tools

Recent graduates, career changers, and people coming from machine shops, fabrication, mold making, drafting, or other manufacturing environments are all welcome to apply. If you have foundry, pattern-making,



or casting simulation (SolidCast) experience, that's a bonus, but it is not required. Compensation will reflect what you bring. A candidate with drafting, machining, or fabrication experience, or with foundry, pattern-making, or SolidCast background, will start higher in the range than a recent graduate, and your pay will grow as you build your foundry skills.

What we'll teach you

Highland's methods team is growing, and we're investing in a junior member who will grow with us. We'll train you in:

- How castings are designed for manufacture: gating, risering, and solidification
- Running casting simulation software (SolidCast) to predict and prevent defects
- Reviewing customer orders and creating and maintaining bills of material, operations, and Methods files
- Evaluating customer-supplied patterns to confirm the equipment is suitable for use
- Performing first article inspections on new products and writing dimensional inspection reports
- Tracking your work through the foundry and using what you learn to improve the next job
- Supporting sales and production with the engineering of pattern tooling
- Working on special projects focused on efficiency, product flow, and quality

You'll work alongside experienced foundry professionals and see your designs turn into real castings, from model to molten metal to finished part. Job Types: Permanent, Full-time
