GPT Castings Limited is building out its Foundry Division and hiring a Sales & Marketing Manager for grey iron and SG (ductile) iron castings domestic and export. This is a market development role: opening new segments across automotive, pumps and valves, railways, general engineering and export markets.

About the Role

This is a newly created position reporting directly to the Director. You will own market development for the foundry business end to end segment selection, customer acquisition and the build-out of an export channel. The territory is open: there is no inherited account book to maintain. We are looking for a business developer who can work independently, and we will size the role and the mandate to the person we find.

Key Responsibilities

- Identify and enter new end-user segments for grey iron and SG iron castings — automotive, pumps and valves, railways, general engineering and beyond.
- Approach and develop OEMs, tier-1 suppliers and industrial buyers; convert enquiries into sampling, approval and regular supply.
- Build an export channel from the ground up — market selection, buyer identification, agent and distributor tie-ups, and enquiry generation in overseas markets.
- Work with the foundry team on technical feasibility, pattern and tooling requirements, drawings and sampling for new part enquiries.
- Prepare costings and quotations, negotiate commercial terms, and close orders.
- Track competition,



casting prices and demand trends across target segments, and report on pipeline and conversion to the Director.
- Support collections and account health for the customers you bring in.

What We're Looking For Must-have

- 5–15 years in sales / business development, with direct experience selling castings or a foundry background.
- Working knowledge of grey iron and SG / ductile iron castings — grades, applications and the enquiry-to-approval cycle.
- Demonstrated new customer acquisition, not only account servicing.
- Comfortable reading drawings and holding a technical conversation with a customer's engineering team.
- Willing to travel for customer development.

Good-to-have

- Export sales or international business development exposure — a robust plus, but not a filter.
- Existing contacts in automotive, pumps and valves, railways or general engineering.
- Experience with machined castings or supply of finished components.

What We Offer

- Genuine white space — multiple untapped segments and an export channel to build from scratch, rather than a mature territory to hold.
- Direct reporting to the Director, with the autonomy to choose markets and set the approach.
- The stability of an established manufacturing operation behind you.
- Scope and compensation matched to the person — we are open to a strong business developer anywhere in the 5–15 year band.
