• Willingness to work in a large industrial facility that may be warm during summer months.
• Openness to cross-training and helping in other departments as business needs require.

Why Work Here?

You can earn a $200 voucher for new steel-toe footwear and receive weekly pay increases for perfect attendance once you transition to direct employment. The environment is energized and engaging, with music playing throughout the shift and a strong, cohesive culture that values unity, reliability, and continuous improvement.

Work Environment

This role is based in a 524,000-square-foot metal distribution and processing facility often described as a “grocery store for metals,” providing custom-cut materials and next-day delivery to a large customer base across North America. The building was completely gutted and reorganized in October, offering an updated, efficient layout. The facility can become hot during the summer, but controlled air systems help manage the temperature. You will work on second shift from 3:00 PM to 11:30 PM, Monday through Friday, with optional Saturday hours if you want extra time. The environment is industrial and fast-paced, with overhead cranes, cutting machinery, and other equipment used to handle steel beams up to 50 feet long.
