Job Description

Job Description

We are looking for a dependable, hardworking individual to join our team as a Non-Ferrous Scale Operator/Scrap Yard Laborer.

The primary focus of this position will be working at our non ferrous scale, where you will assist customers, load and unload trucks, sort and grade different types of scrap metal, prepare material for shipment, maintain a safe organized work area, weigh material, and accurately process purchases. This is also a hands on position, so you will be expected to help with general yard duties whenever needed.

What We're Looking For

The right person for this job is someone who:

-Shows up to work consistently and on time

-Is honest and trustworthy

-Pays attention to detail

-Is comfortable working directly with customers

-Can learn to recognize many different types and grades of metal

-Can perform basic math correctly

-Is comfortable using computers and basic scale software

-Doesnt mind getting dirty and working in an industrial environment

-Can work independently without needing constant supervision

-Is willing to help with jobs outside of their primary responsibilities

-Has a positive attitude and treats customers and coworkers with respect

Scrap metal experience is not required. We are willing to teach metal identification and grading to someone who is dependable, motivated, and willing to learn.

This isn't just a general labor job. The person in this position will become an important part of our customer-facing operation. You'll learn the scrap metal business, how different metals are identified and valued, and how a recycling yard operates from the buying scale to processing.

There is an opportunity to take on additional responsibilities as your knowledge and experience grow.
