Improve plant efficiency, employee performance, and equipment reliability.
Report directly to ownership on plant operations and improvement opportunities.
Requirements
Minimum 2 years of experience in recycling, industrial shredding, scrap metal processing, or similar heavy industrial operations.
Hands-on experience operating or supervising industrial processing equipment.
Strong mechanical knowledge of shredders, conveyors, hydraulics, motors, bearings, and gearboxes.

Ability to troubleshoot equipment problems and improve production performance.
Strong leadership, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
Preferred Experience
Experience in scrap metal recycling, steel processing, automotive shredding, tire recycling, material recovery facilities, or industrial crushing and screening operations.
