The position requires strong reliability, accurate measuring skills, and a willingness to work in a physically demanding, industrial environment.

Responsibilities

• Operate up to four saws at the same time to cut alloy and carbon materials ranging from 1/2 inch to 6 inches thick.
• Measure materials accurately using a tape measure to ensure precise cuts and correct dimensions.
• Use a chain sling, overhead crane, and magnets to safely move materials throughout the shop.
• Perform general labor tasks in the warehouse, including loading and unloading materials as needed.
• Check and maintain inventory levels, ensuring materials are properly labeled, stored, and accounted for.
• Follow all safety procedures when operating machinery and handling heavy materials.
• Train on first shift (5:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) before transitioning to second or third shift, with flexibility if training must occur on another shift.
• Maintain consistent attendance by showing up every day, on time, and ready to work.
• Work as a team player, supporting coworkers and contributing to a positive and productive work environment.
• Stay willing to perform physically demanding tasks and get dirty while maintaining focus on quality and safety.

Essential Skills

• Ability to read and use a tape measure accurately to measure materials.
• Experience or strong aptitude in general labor and machine operation in an industrial or warehouse setting.
• Willingness and ability to operate saws and other machinery after training.
• Comfort using an overhead crane, chain sling, and magnets to move heavy materials (or willingness to learn).
• Strong reliability, including consistent on-time attendance and a desire to work.
• Ability to work second shift (3:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., Monday through Friday) or third shift (7:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., Sunday through Thursday) after training.
• Readiness to wear lace-up steel-toe footwear (no slip-on shoes) and comply with safety requirements.
• Physical ability to work in a dirty, dark, and damp steel facility and perform manual tasks for extended periods.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Previous saw operating experience in a manufacturing or steel environment.
• Background in steel, recycling, or other heavy-duty industrial work.
• Material handling experience, including operating hi-lo or similar equipment.
• Willingness to train on first shift (5:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.), with flexibility for extended training periods if needed.
• Interest in working optional Saturday shifts when available.

Why Work Here?

This is a contract-to-hire opportunity designed to lead to long-term employment for those who perform well and show strong reliability. The company offers a 520-hour contract period with a clear path to hire, along with good benefits and insurance once converted. Employees can earn a $300 quarterly bonus for perfect attendance and a $50 weekly on-time bonus for perfect punctuality on 8-hour days. The workplace values longevity, rewarding those who show up consistently, work hard, and want to build a stable career in an industrial environment.

Work Environment

The role is based in a dirty, dark, and damp steel facility where you will handle heavy materials and operate industrial equipment. The environment suits individuals who are comfortable in rugged, not-so-pretty work settings and are willing to roll up their sleeves and get dirty. Training typically occurs on first shift from 5:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., after which you will move to either second shift (3:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., Monday through Friday) or third shift (7:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., Sunday through Thursday). Optional Saturday work may be available. You will work with equipment such as bandsaws, overhead cranes, chain slings, magnets, and other material-handling tools. Lace-up steel-toe footwear is required, and slip-on shoes are not permitted, reflecting the emphasis on safety in this industrial setting.
