What You'll Do

You'll play a critical role in supporting continuous steel casting by preparing and applying refractory materials to tundishes-ensuring safe, efficient production.

Key Responsibilities:

Tundish Preparation & Spraying
  • Apply refractory spray linings using manual or mechanized equipment
  • Prepare surfaces (cleaning, drying, preheating)
  • Ensure proper thickness and quality specifications
  • Inspect linings for cracks, adhesion, and integrity
  • Track material usage and job completion
Equipment Operation & Maintenance
  • Operate spray systems, pumps, and mixers
  • Perform routine maintenance on hoses, nozzles, and equipment
  • Identify and report mechanical issues
Safety & Compliance
  • Follow all steel mill safety standards (PPE, lockout/tagout, confined space, hot work)
  • Work safely around heat, dust, molten metal, and heavy equipment
  • Participate in safety meetings and training
Team Collaboration
  • Work closely with casting and maintenance teams
  • Communicate production readiness and quality concerns
  • Support fast-paced, shift-based operations
What You Bring

Required:
  • High school diploma or GED
  • Mechanical aptitude and comfort with tools/equipment
  • Ability to lift 50+ lbs and perform physical work
  • Willingness to work in high-heat industrial environments
Preferred:
  • Steel mill, refractory, or industrial experience
  • Forklift or heavy equipment certification
  • Familiarity with refractory materials or melt shop operations
Work Environment
  • Active steel mill with heat, dust, noise, and heavy equipment
  • PPE required (provided): heat-resistant gear, respirators, face shields
  • Requires flexibility for shifts, weekends, and overtime


Why This Role Stands Out

If you're looking for steady pay, real skill development, and a path into industrial trades, this is a strong entry point. You'll gain experience in a specialized, high-demand field that supports essential manufacturing.
