Hydraulic Shear Operator — Steel Processing

Step into a day-on-the-floor in Harmarville

As a Hydraulic Shear Operator in our steel fabrication and processing facility, you’ll keep product moving and quality tight. From the moment your shift starts, you’ll set up and run a hydraulic steel shear, stage material with a crane or magnet, and keep production flowing with a forklift. No prior shear or steel experience? We’ll train you from day one. This is a direct hire position with clear pay progression and room to grow.

Where your time goes

• Set up and operate a hydraulic steel shear to cut steel sheets and strips precisely
• Move material by hand and with overhead crane, magnetic lift, and forklift
• Inspect finished pieces using precision measuring tools; verify specs and quality
• Package finished goods with air-powered banding tools for safe shipment
• Record production, print tags, and follow work orders using basic computer and calculator skills
• Partner with your team; work independently when needed to hit goals

Schedule and 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 — $18.50/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 — $19.50/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 increase after a 60–90 day probation period, plus annual raises and bonuses (with potential for more frequent bonuses down the line)

Both shifts follow a steady rhythm — Monday through Thursday with a shorter, different Friday. It takes a minute to get used to, but once you’re in the groove it’s a predictable routine four days (or nights) a week.

What makes you a fit

• Reliable, consistent attendance and a desire for long-term stability
• Comfort with physical, hands-on work in a fast-paced production setting
• No experience necessary — attitude and willingness to learn matter most; prior warehouse or manufacturing experience is a plus
• Solid basic math, reading, and measuring skills
• Self-directed when needed; collaborative and willing to pitch in

Benefits that start upon hire

• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• PTO accrual
• 401(k) retirement plan with 401(k) matching
