Roll Pass Engineering Manager
 

Overview:
 

The Roll Pass Engineering Manager will be responsible for directing Primetals engineers in the development of roll pass engineering solutions for both the Sales (pre-project) and Project Management (contract) teams. The pass designs developed will be used to define/confirm equipment selections and process routes and will allow for the successful production of finished hot rolled sections in proposed, new, or existing rolling mills. Such rolling mills will produce a wide variety of finished and semi-finished products such as angles, flats, rebar, wire rod, etc. with applications in both ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
 

Key responsibilities include implementation of roll pass engineering solutions at customer sites through direct or remote support.
 

Responsibilities:
Responsibilities include the following:

• Direct and train employees to perform calculations, or modify calculation methods, related to determining rolling loads associated with the hot rolling of long products. This includes determining separating forces, torques, roll strengths, motor powers, pass spread, pass reduction, section speeds, roll speeds, etc. These calculations will be used in determining equipment size for new mills and/or capability of existing equipment for new processes.
• Provide internal/external technical support for the implementation of new pass designs in new or existing rolling mills.
