Step into the shop and keep production moving

From the first whistle to shift close, you’re the hub for material movement in our steel vessel fabrication shop. Reporting to the COO, you’ll take on daily machine shop runs and assignments, stage and deliver parts to the floor, and help ensure projects hit deadlines, budgets, and quality expectations.

A day in this role

You start by reviewing the day’s priorities assigned by the COO and the Fitter/Plant Manager. You coordinate with the VP Operations, Production Analyst, QC Manager, and Laborer Team Lead to understand what needs to be where and when.

Midday, you sandblast vessels as scheduled, complete receiving checks alongside the Receiving Specialist, and capture accurate paperwork. Before you wrap, you tidy the floor, return tools to their homes, and support the Controller with physical inventory counts of stock materials.
