Trueline, a long-established American manufacturer of pipe fittings and flow-control products, is seeking a Vice President of Engineering to lead all engineering at its high-volume foundry and manufacturing campus. You’ll own engineering across a century-old, 500-ton-per-day electric melt foundry, a machine shop, and paint, zinc, and assembly operations. You’ll lead a team of 13 direct reports and manage $20-22 million in annual capital projects, for a base salary of $230,000-$240,000+ plus a 25% bonus target.

The plant is growing and investing heavily in automation, new molding and melt technologies, and an Industry 4.0 integrated factory. The right person is a seasoned foundry engineering leader and a true team player who wants to modernize a historic operation alongside a strong, collaborative team.

  • Lead new product introductions from concept through production
  • Review and approve engineering drawings, models, solidification simulations, and casting feasibility analyses
  • Champion Lean, Six Sigma, and continuous improvement, using SPC, DOE, and root-cause analysis to solve problems for good
  • Ensure engineering documentation and process controls meet ISO standards, and support compliance with safety, regulatory, and environmental requirements
  • Partner with Operations, Maintenance, Quality, EHS, Supply Chain, and Commercial teams on daily production, equipment reliability, and customer technical needs

  • Foundry engineering leadership experience in a high-volume operation
  • 5+ years of progressive leadership managing technical teams
  • Hands-on experience leading automation initiatives in a manufacturing environment
  • Strong command of casting processes, metallurgy, heat treatment, and material properties
  • Experience leading multimillion-dollar capital project portfolios
  • Proficiency with Lean, Six Sigma, CI methods, and data-driven problem solving

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
