Technical Director

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Summary, Essential Functions, Education And Experience, Qualifications, Minimum Requirements. We need to map to headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

for each section heading. Only include sections that have real specific content. No Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless present. There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not include those headings. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (Education And Experience? maybe Qualifications and Minimum Requirements). Could combine Qualifications and Minimum Requirements into Requirements? But we have separate headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide based on content. The posting has: - Summary (driving operational...). - Essential Functions (list of duties). - Education And Experience (education, experience, traits). - Qualifications (degree, doctorate preferred, Six Sigma Greenbelt required/Blackbelt preferred). - Minimum Requirements (10 years experience, 5 years leadership, proven track record, high-volume production, automotive/aerospace background). We could map: - About the role: Summary. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions. - Requirements: Education And Experience (maybe includes education and experience). - Qualifications: Qualifications (degree, Six Sigma). - Skills: Minimum Requirements? Actually Minimum Requirements are more about experience and track record; could be considered Skills? But we have Skills heading; we could put the Minimum Requirements under Skills? Or we could put Minimum Requirements under Requirements as well. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Education And Experience and Qualifications into Requirements? But we need to follow instruction: Use headings only when posting has real specific content for it. We can create multiple sections if they have content. We have content for About the role (Summary). Responsibilities (Essential Functions). Qualifications (Degree, Six Sigma). Minimum Requirements (experience, leadership, track record). Education And Experience (education, experience, traits). There's overlap; but we must preserve all substantive info. Could split into sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Education & Experience, Qualifications, Minimum Requirements. But we only allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we cannot use "Education & Experience" heading; we must map to one of allowed headings. The allowed headings are: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Thus we need to fit content into these. - About the role: Summary. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions. - Requirements: Could include Education And Experience and Minimum Requirements (both are about requirements). Could combine them. - Qualifications: Degree, Six Sigma etc. - Skills: maybe not needed; we could omit if no specific skill list beyond what's already covered. The posting doesn't have a separate skills list; skills are embedded in qualifications and requirements. So we can omit Skills section. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities (Essential Functions) we need to make a list. Also for Requirements maybe list items. For Qualifications maybe list. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all points from each section. Let's extract content. Summary paragraph: "Driving operational, cultural and behavioral transformation to a Zero Defects mindset to achieve and maintain consistently high levels of product performance. Developing enhanced alloys and efficient manufacturing technologies, having the potential to significantly influence the appeal of PCC Metals & Forgings premium products in the eyes of customers." That's two sentences. Essential Functions (list): - Providing Technical leadership and direction to the PCC Metals & Forgings plants, keeping the Technical/Engineering teams aligned to achieve strong technical performance and a positive external image for the segment. - Driving existing production processes and exploiting new manufacturing technologies to achieve targeted improvements in yield, scrap, rework, concessions and first pass yield performance. - Leading, mentoring and developing a high-performing Technical/Engineering team, fostering a collaborative environment that emphasizes teamwork, accountability, and professional growth. - Managing customer communications on Technical / non-commercial topics and interfacing with key customers during site visits. - Leading teams in problem solving issues that affect vertically integrated businesses. - Management responsibility for the R&D laboratory, including facilities, equipment and personnel to ensure: - Aligned to the Sales strategy, leading the group in executing the New Product Introduction Process to identify business opportunities and associated technical challenges, resource requirements, capital expenditure. - Utilizing the APQP toolbox to ensure product capability and successful outcomes. - Providing advanced metallurgical/engineering technical support to plant and mill development projects. - In collaboration with the Quality function, deploying the AS13100 Zero Defects toolkit, with a specific focus on Process Monitoring, Problem Solving, Measurement Systems and Quality Planning. - Developing and executing the Technology roadmap for the site to align with the overall business strategy and maintain PCC Metals and Forgings’ competitive position with respect to process capability, including driving the deployment of Industry 4.0 capabilities through digital transformation. - Representing the site as necessary on all technology matters and advising the site leadership as appropriate. Note: The bullet list includes a sub-bullet under "Management responsibility for the R&D laboratory...". We need to preserve all. We'll flatten maybe as separate list items. Education And Experience: "The candidate will have an aerospace or automotive background, with a Zero Defects mindset, knowing what good looks like operationally, culturally and behaviorally. They will operate through a leader’s visionary lens, with the ability to communicate and demonstrate what the future state will be in terms of Technology and Customer expectation. An accomplished and experienced Metallurgist, comfortable operating both strategically and tactically and fully versed in the Zero Defects toolbox, processes and methodologies. Not content with the status-quo – disruptive by nature, having the drive and desire to transform a culture and demonstrate how they have achieved this previously. Strong executive presence and excellent communication skills, essential for effectively presenting complex data and improvement strategies to senior executives and customers. This includes the ability to clearly articulate findings, propose actionable solutions, and foster confidence in the organization’s technical capabilities. Instilling and implementing a Zero Defects philosophy and mindset, in partnership with the Quality, Operations and Manufacturing Engineering functions." That's a paragraph with multiple sentences. Qualifications: "Degree qualified in Materials Science or Metallurgy. Doctorate in Materials Science or Metallurgy preferred. Six Sigma Greenbelt required / Blackbelt preferred." Minimum Requirements: "Minimum of 10 years of experience in a technical/engineering role. At least 5 years of experience in a leadership or managerial role, demonstrating the ability to lead technical teams and drive organizational change. Candidates should have a proven track record of successful New Product Development and Introduction projects. Proven experience in a high-volume production environment. Automotive or aerospace engineering/manufacturing background." We need to combine Education And Experience and Minimum Requirements into Requirements section? But we have both; we could split: Requirements could contain Education And Experience; Minimum Requirements could be considered Skills? But Skills heading is for skills; maybe we could put Minimum Requirements under Skills? However Skills heading expects a list of skills; Minimum Requirements are more about experience, not skills. But we could treat them as Requirements as well. Since we have only one Requirements heading allowed, we need to include all requirement-like content under that heading. That includes Education And Experience and Minimum Requirements. We'll combine them into a list (or paragraphs) under Requirements. Thus: - About the role:

  Summary text.

  - Responsibilities:
  • each essential function item.
  - Requirements:
  • education and experience paragraphs? Could be multiple
  • items each sentence? But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can break into list items for each distinct point. However we must not lose any detail. We'll create list items for each distinct bullet: education background, Zero Defects mindset, visionary lens, experienced Metallurgist, disruptive nature, executive presence, communication skills, instilling Zero Defects philosophy, plus minimum requirements: 10 years experience, 5 years leadership, proven track record NPI, high-volume production, automotive/aerospace background. That seems fine. - Qualifications:
    • Degree qualified in Materials Science or Metallurgy.
    • Doctorate in Materials Science or Metallurgy preferred.
    • Six Sigma Greenbelt required / Blackbelt preferred.
    We must not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Now ensure we don't repeat job title. No extra headings. Output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. We need to escape any special characters? Not needed. We'll produce:

    But note we have nested
    inside
    • . That's okay but we need to close properly. Actually we had a top-level
    • for "Management responsibility for the R&D laboratory..." and then a sublist. We need to close the
    • after sublist. Let's restructure:
