You’ll gain real manufacturing experience, learn how finishing operations work, and have opportunities to cross-train and grow into operator or skilled trade roles over time. The expectations are clear, the work is honest, and your contribution matters. Job Summary: The Grinder will work with crew on Forge Team on 2nd shift to make forged bars and blocks.
