BILSTEIN COLD ROLLED STEEL LP•Bowling Green, KY

4d•$18 - $20•Onsite

About The Position

We are presently looking for top talent to join our diverse organization. This position will exhibit process improvements that impact the bottom line in a performance driven organization. It is essential that you are transparent and lead in a collaborative way.

Requirements

Sets up, operates, maintains and monitors all operations of the cold rolling and temper mill, to reduce the thickness and produce specific surface finishes on the steel coils to specified tolerances in order to prepare the material for annealing, slitting or for delivery to the customer.
Reads production schedules and work orders to determine processing sequences and reduction patterns to efficiently run the mill operations.
Starts conveyors to load steel coils and/or signaling crane operators to move coils to the required position.
Positions steel coils on conveyors or mandrels, using crane, chain hoists or grabs.
Monitors process information while the product is being rolled, including automatic x-ray gauge thickness measurement, shape measurement and pinhole detection to ensure that the product achieves the desired surface and thickness parameters.
Rewinds and inspects the coils after the cold mill operation, clearly identifying any suspect material for further processing, or placing the material on hold for quality inspections.
Records data from the operator screen for Quality Assurance purposes to ensure that the steel coils meet the order specifications.
Adjusts controls to maintain roll speed, coolant flow, roll force, roll gap, steering, mill balance, air wipes, squeegee roll gaps utilizing output form operator control screens.
Repairs, replaces, and maintains mill equipment as needed, using hand tools.
Places completed steel coils on conveyors, using crane, chain hoists or grabs, or signaling crane operators to transport them to subsequent stations.
Examines the steel strip to ensure the final product parameters and surface conforms to specifications, utilizing knowledge of customer requirements and placing any suspect coils on hold for quality control/inspection.
Changes work rolls and back up rolls using crane, hoists and chains based on tonnage requirements, customer requirements and surface roughness specifications.
Directs and trains other workers to change rolls, operate mill equipment, remove coils and cobbles, and band and load material.
Signals and assists other workers to remove and position equipment, fill hoppers, and feed materials into the mill.
Checks emulsion conditions, making additions or reductions in concentration based on rolling requirements and surface quality.
Takes samples of finished steel coils for hardness, roughness, gauge testing, using testing equipment.
Uses steel strapping and hand tools to band the finished steel coils for transport to the next production unit or stock.
Signals crane operators to deposit finished steel coils in storage areas.
Prints and attaches rolling identification tags on finished product for subsequent processing and traceability.
Reports maintenance job orders as necessary.
Instructs new workers in rolling mill operation.
Regular communication with co-workers in the annealing and roll shop departments in order to make decisions concerning production and quality requirements.
