Daily Job Duties - What You'll Do

Safety is the most important part of all jobs within Nucor; therefore, candidates must be able to demonstrate the ability to initiate, lead, and uphold safety policies, practices, procedures, and housekeeping standards at all times.

  • Follow all company and OSHA safety procedures - attend safety meetings and look out for yourself and your teammates
  • Monitor conveyors to ensure normal operation - adjust belt tracking as needed to keep material moving
  • Monitor water flow and clear small jams in water lines using water and air compressor equipment
  • Perform scheduled preventative maintenance - greasing, lubricating, cleaning, and measuring wear on production equipment
  • Monitor production equipment, adjust feed and discharge rates, and troubleshoot issues as they come up
  • Conduct frequent plant inspections to detect malfunctions, take corrective action, and report findings to your supervisor
  • Operate small equipment including forklifts and skid steers on an as-needed basis
  • Perform interior and exterior building maintenance - sweeping, shoveling, and general clean-up throughout the yard
  • Communicate over radio with teammates for traffic coordination, production updates, and safety
  • Cross-train in other positions and jump in wherever the team needs you
You'll be the eyes and ears of the plant - catching problems early and keeping production on track. 1 year of general labor in a manufacturing or industrial environment preferred - but we train the right people.

Job Requirements - What We're Looking For

  • Minimum 1 year of general labor experience in heavy manufacturing, warehousing, or industrial environments - scrap metal or construction a plus
  • Mechanically curious - comfortable learning how industrial equipment works and spotting when something is off
  • Dependable - shows up on time and stays on task without constant supervision
  • Able to adapt to changing priorities and complete tasks safely and effectively in a fast-paced environment
  • Able to stand or walk for most of the shift (up to 12 hours)
  • Able to lift up to 50 lbs
  • Comfortable working outdoors in heat and all weather conditions
  • Forklift experience is a plus (not required - we train)
  • Flexible to work overtime, evenings, weekends, and holidays when needed
  • Bilingual preferred
  • Candidates within 50 miles of location preferred
  • Must pass a hair drug test and background check
