Our regular production schedule is four 10-hour shifts, Monday through Thursday:

• 1st Shift: 6:00 AM – 4:30 PM
• 2nd Shift: 4:30 PM – 3:00 AM
• Friday: Overtime may be scheduled based on production needs
• Saturday: Voluntary when available

Employees receive an unpaid 30-minute lunch and two paid 10-minute breaks during the regular shift.

• Pull coils from inventory and put incoming coils away.
• Load and unload trucks and rail cars.
• Load and unload production equipment.
• Supply steel coils to slitting and other production operations.
• Verify that the correct material is being moved and positioned.
• Communicate with production employees to coordinate safe material movement.
• Follow all OSHA and company safety procedures when operating cranes and handling heavy materials.

What We're Looking For

• Experience loading or unloading trucks or rail cars with an overhead crane.
• Experience in steel processing, metal fabrication, or a similar manufacturing environment.
• Familiarity with rigging, slings, and safe practices around suspended loads.

What Success Looks Like Here

We are looking for more than someone who knows how to operate a crane.

Successful employees are:

• Reliable: You show up consistently, on time, and are prepared to work the full 10-hour shift.
• Safety‑focused: You stay alert, communicate with the team, follow procedures, and don't take shortcuts around heavy loads.
• Team‑oriented: You understand that your work directly affects production and the employees working around you.
• Looking for stability: You want to learn the operation, become part of the team, and build a long-term role.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• $23.00/hour
• Consistent Monday-through-Thursday schedule
• Opportunity for Friday overtime based on production needs
• Stable, hands‑on manufacturing work
• Smaller‑team environment where dependable employees make a noticeable difference
• Opportunity to participate in annual incentives and recognition programs
• Weekly catered lunch

If you're an experienced overhead-crane operator who takes pride in working safely, showing up consistently, and being part of a dependable production team, we encourage you to apply.
