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: 1. 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 - $20.00/hour 2. 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 - $21.00/hour 3. 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 4. Some Fridays off entirely on either shift 5. No Saturday or Sunday work 6. Overtime opportunity available - a real way to increase your take-home now, on top of base pay 7. $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: 1. Set up and operate a hydraulic steel shear 2. Move steel sheets to machines by hand, crane, or magnet - this is physical work, on your feet, for a full shift 3. Inspect finished sheets and strips using precision measuring tools 4. Package finished materials with air-powered banding tools 5. Move raw and finished steel using a forklift 6. Record production, print tags, and follow work orders using basic computer/calculator skills What we're looking for: 1. 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 2. Comfortable with physically demanding, hands-on work in a fast-paced production environment 3. 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 4. Basic math, reading, and measuring skills 5. Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision 6. Team-oriented, willing to pitch in where needed Benefits (start upon hire): 1. Health, dental, and vision insurance 2. PTO accrual 3. 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.
