Metals Production Utility Operator

Ready to build a career in steel? If you thrive on hands-on work, care about safety, and want room to grow, this entry-level Utility role could be your next move.

Your Challenge

Can you learn fast, think critically, and step into different areas of a steel mill as needed? You’ll support production and service units across our Mon Valley locations—one application covers Clairton Works, Irvin Works, and Edgar Thomson Works.

What a Shift Can Look Like

• Use hand and pneumatic tools, gauges, oxygen lances, power-actuated tools, and torches to prepare and process materials.
• Move and position raw materials and finished products using approved procedures and, with experience, mobile equipment.
• Assist with equipment inspections and basic maintenance to maximize uptime.
• Work around hot, heavy, sharp, and sometimes chemically hazardous materials; at times near molten metal.
• Adapt to changing environments—hot or cold, wet, greasy, dirty, and noisy.
• Lift and carry items exceeding 25 lbs as part of daily tasks.

Growth Path

After brief on-the-job training, you’ll progress toward operating material handling equipment: overhead and mobile cranes, tractors, trucks, dozers, loaders, boom trucks, feeders, and more.

Must-Haves

• High School Diploma or GED.
• Ability to work rotating 8-hour shifts—including weekends and holidays—with overtime as needed.
• Dedication to safety procedures. Required PPE: hard hat, safety glasses, hearing protection, protective clothing, metatarsal boots, and a respirator when necessary.
• Dependable attendance, punctuality, and self-direction.
• Pass a pre-employment digital assessment.

How We Operate

Our culture is built on three habits:

1. Think: apply critical thinking and lead change.
