About The Position

Think of the Utility Operator at Skana Aluminum as the ultimate behind-the-scenes hero—the Swiss Army knife of our production floor. If you like variety, staying busy, and being the go-to person that keeps things running smoothly, this role’s for you. You’ll jump in wherever needed, from moving materials with heavy-duty toys (forklifts and cranes), to helping operators with machines, to making sure everything stays clean, safe, and efficient. You’re not just supporting production—you are production.

Requirements

• A knack for multitasking, working independently, and keeping calm in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds—think gym day, but you're getting paid.
• Strong eyes (for spotting defects) and good ears (to hear your favorite playlist under hearing protection).
• Ability to read, write, measure, and follow detailed instructions—math skills and mechanical curiosity are a plus.
• High school diploma or GED preferred.
• Previous manufacturing experience? Required.
• Able to read work orders, follow instructions, and communicate clearly with the team.
• Familiar with tape measures, gauges, and computers for logging production and analyzing numbers.

Responsibilities

• Master of Many Hats: Support different departments like a pro. One minute you’re moving materials, the next you’re helping set up machines.
• Forklift Phenom & Crane Commander: Safely transport materials, products, and scrap like a logistics ninja.
• Clean Machine: Keep work areas sparkling by sweeping, shoveling, and keeping everything neat (because safety and cleanliness go hand-in-hand).
• Machine Sidekick: Help run equipment (safely, of course) and support operators so production keeps moving.
• Quality Control Agent: Keep an eye out for defects—if something’s off, you’ll spot it.
• 5S Rockstar: Stay organized, work efficiently, and help create a space everyone’s proud of.
• Packaging Pro: Assist with packing, labeling, and making sure our finished goods are shipment-ready.
• Team Player Extraordinaire: Communicate clearly, work well with others, and jump in where help is needed.
• Safety First, Always: PPE? Check. Safety procedures? You know them like the back of your hand.
