What You'll Do

If you’re sharp, organized, good with people, and you want a job that actually pays — this is the one. The Scale Operator is the hub of the yard. Every truck that rolls in goes through you. You’ll weigh loads, process transactions, verify materials, manage traffic flow, and make sure every deal is done right and by the book. It’s a fast-moving, detail-driven role where accuracy matters and your hustle directly impacts the operation. Backed by Nucor’s weekly pay, production bonuses, and one of the best benefits packages in the business — this is more than a job at the scale house.

Job Duties include but are not limited to:

Follow all company and OSHA safety procedures — attend safety meetings and keep the scale area safe
Weigh and purchase inbound scrap — collect required customer information, complete all purchasing and shipping documents, and reconcile transactions daily
Follow all legal requirements for purchasing materials — accuracy and compliance are non-negotiable
Communicate pricing and material specifications clearly to customers — you’re the face of the yard at the gate
Inspect incoming materials and flag non-acceptable items before they make it onto the yard
Verify that metals are correctly identified and properly classified before purchase
Coordinate with other scale operators to verify transactions and prevent duplicate purchases
Control traffic patterns in the yard — direct customers to the right unloading locations efficiently and safely
Ensure every customer interaction is handled in a courteous, professional, and safe manner
Cross-train in other positions and support teammates as needed
