Manufacturing Technician (Operations & Development) | Alcoa Technical Center (New Kensington, PA)
$1,000 Sign-On Bonus Available*
Quick Summary: Hands-on manufacturing role at the Alcoa Technical Center, operating industrial equipment in an R&D environment to support both production and new aluminum technology development. Rotating 12-hour shifts, shift differential, overtime, and strong benefits.
About the Role
We are seeking a Manufacturing Technician to support manufacturing at the Alcoa Technical Center, an R&D environment with mid-scale production capabilities. This role operates at the intersection of manufacturing, laboratory work, and technology development, directly supporting next-generation aluminum processes and products.
You will perform hands-on manufacturing and testing using industrial and laboratory equipment, follow structured work and safety requirements, and support both daily operations and development trials. Unlike traditional high-volume production roles, this position offers direct involvement in process experimentation and scale-up, helping move innovations from trial to application.
