You arrive ready for your rotating 8-hour shift, gear up with PPE — hard hat, safety glasses, hearing protection, protective clothing, metatarsal boots, and a respirator when needed — and head to your assignment. Some days you’re supporting a producing unit with hand tools, pneumatic tools, gauges, oxygen lances, power-actuated tools, and torches.

• Manual tasks, including safely lifting more than 25 lbs.
• Assisting with equipment inspections and maintenance activities.
• Performing in a heavy industrial environment; potential work near molten metal.

After brief on-the-job training, you’ll progress to a Utility Technician assignment operating material-handling equipment such as overhead and mobile cranes (various sizes and types), tractors, trucks, dozers, loaders, boom trucks, and feeders.

• High School Diploma or GED required.
• Rotating 8-hour shift work, including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.
• Overtime as business needs arise.
• Strict adherence to safety procedures and PPE at all times.
• Reliable, punctual attendance and self-direction.
