For more than 80 years, Morton Industries has built a reputation for doing fabrication the right way — tube, sheet, and enclosure work that ends up in equipment used all over the world.
And the reason we keep growing is simple:
The people in the building.
We’re looking for the kind of people who take pride in doing things right.
If you’re hungry, humble, and smart, you’ll probably like it here.
Quick Question Do you like working with machines?
Do you like taking raw material and turning it into something real?
Do you like being part of a team that actually backs each other up?
If that sounds like you, keep reading.
The Morton Way These aren’t buzzwords here.
They’re how the place actually runs.

Focused on Team Success No lone wolves here. We win together.
Driven to Deliver When we commit to something, we follow through.
Consistent Progress We’re always improving our people and our processes.
Professional Authenticity Be yourself. Bring your strengths. Do excellent work.
If those values sound like you, you’ll fit right in.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing As a Machine Operator, you’ll be running equipment that turns raw material into real parts used across industries.
Your day might include:
Operating machines like mills, presses, saws, or other fabrication equipment
Reading prints or job specs so parts are produced correctly
Loading material and positioning parts for machining or processing
Checking finished parts with measuring tools to make sure quality is right
Removing burrs or imperfections so parts are ready for the next step Making small adjustments to machines to keep production running smoothly
Performing basic machine care like oiling or tooling adjustments
Counting, stacking, and preparing finished parts for the next stage
Some machines move fast.
Some require precision.
Either way, you’re part of the team that turns steel into finished parts that ship out into the world.
Who Thrives Here Let’s keep it simple.
The people who do well at Morton tend to be:
Hungry You want to work and keep getting better.
Humble You take feedback well and work as part of a team.
Smart You pay attention, learn quickly, and figure things out.
We can teach machines.

What we can’t teach is work ethic.
What You Get If you’re going to work hard, you should be rewarded for it.

15% shift premium
Low-cost medical, dental, and vision insurance
401(k) with company match
Paid holidays and paid time off Company-paid life insurance

And a few things we’re especially proud of:
Ramsay Smart Dollar financial wellness program to help you take control of your money
Real upward mobility — over 100 internal promotions in the past two years
Clean, organized manufacturing facilitiesA team culture where people actually support each other
If you show up, work hard, and keep improving, there’s room to grow here.
A lot of people start in production and move into machine setup, leadership roles, or other opportunities across the company.
Not Sure If You're Qualified?
Apply anyway.
We hire for character first.
If you’re hungry, humble, and smart, we can teach the rest.

The people in the building.
