Melt Technician - 2nd Shift

Location: South Pittsburg, TN

We got our start over 125 years ago when Joseph Lodge founded the Blacklock Foundry in South Pittsburg, TN. His scrappy, hardworking spirit continues to lead us today. As a team, we believe cast iron is for everyone. We’re dedicated to manufacturing American-made cookware that we’re proud to use in our very own homes and excited to bring to kitchens, backyards, and campfires around the world. Day in and day out, we work together to stay safe, have fun, and be better than we were the day before.

By now, you may have caught on to the fact that we’re serious about spreading the joys of cast iron. And while we’re always on the lookout for ways to innovate, we believe in the adage: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That’s why we stand by a simple recipe of just iron and oil (no forever chemicals, since forever!). It’s also why we’re passionate about keeping our campus in our hometown of South Pittsburg, Tennessee, providing great jobs to our community. As we bring our cookware to the next generation of cast iron chefs, we’re looking for people to help us stay true to our roots every step of the way. Does that sound like something you can get behind?

The Melt Technician is responsible for controlling the process from furnace charging through the transfer of molten iron to the pouring ladle. In this role, you will melt pig iron, steel, returns, and alloys in electric induction furnaces while ensuring the temperature and chemistry of the metal meet production and quality requirements. You will also perform equipment maintenance, support safe operations, and help maintain a clean and organized work environment.
