Job Description & How to Apply Below
** 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 adirect 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/hour2nd
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 AMSome 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
Benefits (start upon hire):
Health, dental, and vision insurance PTO accrual
401(k) retirement plan There's also room to grow — depending on performance and interest, operators may get the chance to cross-train on other equipment or help out with shipping and receiving.
Benefits:401(k) matching
Dental insurance
Health insurance
Paid time off Vision insurance
