Midwest Salt & Grit One • Chicago, IL

12d • $24 - $30 • Onsite

About The Position

Vessels come in loaded with salt. You unload them, stockpile the product, blend it, and get it out the door to customers before the first snow flies. You’ll run Sennebogen material handlers, wheel loaders, conveyors, blending systems, pneumatic hoppers, and field unloaders. If you haven’t run all of it yet, we’ll train you. Grit One is a new operation, so the people here now are the ones setting how the work gets done.
