Job description

? NOW HIRING: OVERHEAD CRANE OPERATOR / MATERIAL FLOW
Gordon Aluminum is looking for an experienced Overhead Crane Operator to play a critical role in keeping material moving throughout our manufacturing operation.
This is much more than simply operating a crane.
Our Crane Operator reports to Shipping but supports the flow of material between Shipping, Extrusion, and Fabrication. This person must constantly evaluate priorities, anticipate what each department will need next, and strategically position material so production continues moving efficiently.
What Makes This Role Different?
At any given time, you may be:
  • Moving cradles onto the Emmebi packaging line for Shipping.
  • Relocating finished or in-process material.
  • Moving empty and full cradles between departments.
  • Responding to material needs from Extrusion or Fabrication.
  • Deciding where material should be staged so it doesn't create congestion or require unnecessary handling later.
  • Reprioritizing your work as production and shipping needs change.

You need to be able to think several moves ahead.
Moving something to the first available space isn't always the right answer. A strong Crane Operator considers where the material is going next, when it will be needed, what needs access to the area, and how today's placement will affect the next several material moves.
Requirements
Skills We're Looking For
Overhead crane experience is required, but we're especially interested in candidates who demonstrate:
  • Strong spatial awareness
  • Material-flow and logistics thinking
  • Excellent hand-eye coordination
  • Ability to judge distance, clearance, load position, and surrounding hazards
  • Strategic staging and organization skills
  • Ability to prioritize multiple requests
  • Strong situational awareness
  • Quick, safe decision-making
  • Ability to anticipate downstream production needs
  • Comfort communicating with several departments
  • Ability to stay organized while priorities change
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Ability to remain focused under pressure
  • Safety awareness around people, equipment, machinery, and suspended loads

This is an extremely fast-paced position. The right person will be someone who enjoys having multiple things happening at once and can determine the safest and most efficient sequence of moves without needing someone to direct every step.
Your Experience May Transfer Well If You've Worked As A:
  • Overhead Crane Operator
  • Material Handler
  • Steel or Aluminum Mill Material Handler
  • Coil Handler
  • Heavy Manufacturing Forklift Operator
  • Shipping/Receiving Material Handler
  • Production Material Coordinator
  • Fabrication Material Handler
  • Machine/Production Feeder
  • Warehouse Material Flow Specialist
  • Yard or Material Coordinator
  • Heavy Industrial Equipment Operator

Experience in aluminum, steel, metal fabrication, foundries, mills, lumber, heavy manufacturing, or other high-volume material-handling environments may translate particularly well.
We're looking for someone who doesn't just know how to operate equipment. We need someone who can look at a busy production floor, understand what needs to happen next, and create order out of constant movement.
