Looking for a hands-on manufacturing position where you can operate equipment, learn the annealing process, and build your skills?

We’re looking for a dependable, safety-focused Annealing Technician to join our team. This position plays an important role in our annealing process by keeping material organized and moving safely through the department.

You’ll operate forklifts and overhead cranes, stage and pile steel, set up furnaces and coolers, and work with your crew to keep production running safely and efficiently.

• 401(k) – 3% automatic company contribution plus up to a 2% company match.
• Quarterly Profit Sharing – More Than Just a Bonus – Eligible employees receive profit-sharing payouts each quarter based on company performance.
