A successful candidate should demonstrate an eagerness to learn, showing initiative, commitment to teamwork, and attention to detail.

Additional Responsibilities:

  • Perform a wide variety of tasks to assist in set-up and running equipment
  • Identify material coming into the department
  • Controlling and adjusting temperatures on the furnace
  • Maintain logs and records
  • Follow prescribed safety regulations
  • Maintain accurate, complete, and legible logs, records, and charts
  • Operate heavy machinery such as forklifts and cranes

Preferred Qualifications

  • High School Diploma / GED
  • One (1) year of manufacturing experience

Skills

  • Basic computer skills
  • Basic math skills
  • Ability to read a tape measure as well as other measuring devices
  • Time management skills
We thrive when the expectations are great, and the barriers are high. We're solving the world's most difficult challenges through materials science. Our advanced, integrated process technologies and proven performers give us a tremendous competitive advantage. When customers systems need to fly higher, dig deeper, stand stronger, and last longer -- anywhere on, above or below the earth -- ATI is proven to perform.
