Job description

A steel fabrication and processing facility in Harmarville is hiring Machine Operators across both 1st and 2nd shift. This is hands‑on, physical, mechanical work — operating a hydraulic steel shear, moving steel sheets by hand, crane, or magnet, and running a forklift on the production floor. No shear or steel experience needed — we'll train you from day one. It's a direct hire position, not temp‑to‑hire, with a clear path to earn more as you go.

Schedule & pay

1st Shift: Monday–Thursday 4:00 AM–2:30 PM (30‑minute lunch); Friday 4:00 AM–12:00 PM, paid at time and a half, no lunch — $18.50/hour

2nd Shift: Monday–Thursday 2:30 PM–1:00 AM (30‑minute lunch); Friday 8:00 AM–4:00 PM, paid at time and a half, no lunch — $19.50/hour. On 2nd shift, when you work the Friday 8 AM shift, your Thursday shift ends early at 11:00 PM instead of 1:00 AM. Some Fridays off entirely on either shift. No Saturday or Sunday work. Overtime opportunity available — a real way to increase your take‑home now, on top of base pay $0.50/hour bump after your 60–90 day probation period, plus annual raises and bonuses (with potential for more frequent bonuses down the line).

Both shifts run on a similar rhythm — a steady Monday–Thursday schedule with a shorter, different Friday. It takes a minute to get used to, but once you're in the groove it's a solid, predictable routine four nights (or days) a week.

What you'll do

• Set up and operate a hydraulic steel shear
• Move steel sheets to machines by hand, crane, or magnet — this is physical work, on your feet, for a full shift
• Inspect finished sheets and strips using precision measuring tools
• Package finished materials with air‑powered banding tools
• Move raw and finished steel using a forklift
• Record production, print tags, and follow work orders using basic computer/calculator skills

What we're looking for

• Reliable, consistent attendance — this is a steady, predictable schedule with real long‑term potential, and it's best suited to someone ready to settle in for the long haul
• Comfortable with physically demanding, hands‑on work in a fast‑paced production environment
• No experience necessary — we're looking for the right attitude and willingness to learn, not a resume full of machine time. That said, if you've worked in a warehouse, manufacturing plant, or other production environment, we want to hear about it — that background is a real plus, even if it's not on a shear specifically
• Basic math, reading, and measuring skills
• Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision
• Team‑oriented, willing to pitch in where needed

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• PTO accrual
• 401(k) retirement plan
