Description 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: 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

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

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

Some 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. Apply today. Don't wait! Additional Details How To Identify Potential Job Scams
