Oldbury, Birmingham
Build a Business. Shape a Team. Create a Centre of Excellence.
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience
Job Type: Full time, permanent
Bring your casting expertise to a new facility built for quality.
Design Build Cast Ltd is looking for an experienced precious metal caster to take a leading role in our Birmingham production operation.
We have made a substantial investment in our new Oldbury facility, bringing together the latest casting and production equipment with a high-quality fit-out designed specifically for jewellery manufacture. This represents a significant expansion of our established casting business and an opportunity for an experienced person to help shape its future.
Our work is principally in gold and platinum. We need someone with proven casting experience in both metals who can organise production, solve problems and lead colleagues in achieving consistently high standards.
The Role
This is a hands-on position with responsibility for leading day-to-day casting production. You will work closely with the team and company management to establish effective working practices, develop the team’s skills and deliver the quality and service our customers expect.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Planning and coordinating the daily casting workload to meet production deadlines.
- Carrying out gold and platinum investment casting and overseeing preparation, investing and burnout.
- Monitoring casting quality, investigating defects and improving consistency.
- Supporting and training colleagues, sharing practical knowledge and setting clear standards.
- Ensuring careful handling and accurate recording of precious metals throughout production.
- Maintaining equipment and safe, organised working practices.
About You
Substantial practical experience of jewellery investment casting in both gold and platinum is essential. You must be able to take responsibility for casting production from the outset, drawing on proven technical knowledge and sound judgement.
You will need a thorough understanding of the casting process, the ability to diagnose and resolve casting defects, and experience maintaining consistent quality in a working production environment.
We are looking for someone who can provide clear direction, organise workloads and help colleagues develop their skills. You should take pride in your workmanship and communicate constructively with the team and company management.
Training will be provided on our particular machinery and production systems.
The Opportunity
Joining at this stage means having a direct influence on how the Birmingham casting operation develops. You will have the equipment and facilities to put your experience into practice, contribute improvements and play a central part in building a skilled production team.
