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
  • Operate small equipment including forklifts, skid steers, and similar machines
  • Load scrap material onto shredder feed conveyors, push shred piles, move material throughout the yard, and load trucks and railcars
  • Perform daily equipment inspections and report any defects or needed repairs to your supervisor
  • Keep the yard clear of debris and maintain a clean, safe work environment
  • Pitch in on general labor duties - sweeping, shoveling, and clean-up anywhere in the yard
  • Communicate over radio with teammates for traffic coordination, production updates, and safety
  • 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.
