Industrial Metalworks & Logistics Technician

Is This You?

• Do you like turning raw metal and ceramic materials into precision parts?
• Are you at home on a shop floor—measuring, cutting, assembling, and then packaging what you’ve built?
• Can you jump from the shear to the fork truck, then over to the packing table and tender the shipping paperwork without missing a beat?

If that sounds right, you’ll thrive helping a small business in the thermal processing industry produce high-temperature heating components and furnace systems.

Role Snapshot

• Run metalworking equipment and power tools for shop fabrication.
• Check quality using precision measuring tools before anything ships.
• Package products, build skids, handle materials, and prepare/tender shipping documents.
• Operate a fork truck and use slings and lifting apparatuses to move goods safely.
• Keep areas clean and organized; perform routine, low-level preventive and corrective maintenance on shop tools and equipment.
• Apply shop math—addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, conversions, geometry, and algebra—whenever the job calls for it.

Background That Fits

Experience in auto mechanics, welding, or fabrication is preferred but not required. A mechanically minded problem-solver can learn the rest.

Conditions You’ll Encounter

• Physical work can make up to 90% of annual hours.
• On your feet and moving around the shop for eight hours with designated breaks.
• Regular lifting up to 50 lbs.
• Work near power-producing equipment and refractory materials.
• Occasional work at customer facilities, including confined spaces with elevated temperatures—always with a safety-first approach.

Capabilities We Look For

• Mechanical troubleshooting
• Automotive repair and service systems, including oil changes
• Shipping/receiving accuracy and documentation
• Material handling experience
• Maintenance and repair fundamentals
