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

  • Cross-train in other positions and help out wherever the team needs you
You'll be hands-on from day one - running equipment and keeping the yard productive. The harder you work, the more you earn. 1 year of small equipment experience preferred - but we train the right people.
