Shape the flow of steel at PEC

Own the order, safety, and rhythm of our structural steel yard. As PEC’s Structural Steel Laydown & Logistics Coordinator, you’ll choreograph how material arrives, moves, and departs—keeping production supplied, drivers moving efficiently, and every travel lane clear.

A day in the yard

• Walk the yard at start-up: verify clear access paths, check staging maps, and confirm priorities with the shop.
• Direct and support truck arrivals; unload structural shapes and fabricated components with certified forklift operation.
• Stage beams, columns, tube, plate, and angle by project and pickup schedule—so production never waits.
• Prepare and load materials for the Python structural steel processing machine.
• Continuously tidy the laydown areas—remove banding, scrap, and debris; keep housekeeping tight.
• Perform pre-operation checks on forklifts and other handling equipment; address or report hazards immediately.
• Coordinate with the Structural Steel Shop, fabrication team, and drivers to place materials in assigned zones.

What you’ll tackle

• Oversee the day-to-day organization and material flow across the steel yard and laydown areas.
• Load/unload deliveries of structural steel, fabricated items, and equipment.
• Operate forklifts and approved handling equipment safely to move, stage, and organize stock.
• Maintain clearly marked, obstruction-free travel lanes for trucks, forklifts, lifts, and other equipment.
• Assist drivers by directing them to correct loading, unloading, and staging locations.
• Verify materials are placed in designated, labeled positions to prevent misplacement or damage.
• Use proper rigging practices for long, oversized, and heavy steel members.
• Support the Structural Steel Shop with material movement and related tasks as needed.
