  • Prioritize inspection work to support production schedules while maintaining accuracy.
  • Communicate quality concerns promptly to supervisors, production personnel, the plant metallurgist, and the Quality Manager.

  • OhioMet is a 24-hour manufacturing operation that typically operates six days per week.
  • Weekend work, including Saturday and/or Sunday, may be required based on production needs.
  • Work takes place in a manufacturing environment that may include high temperatures, frequent walking, bending, standing, and handling of metal parts.
  • Must be able to stand for extended periods and occasionally lift up to 40 pounds.

Qualifications

  • Strong math skills and basic computer proficiency.
  • High attention to detail with the ability to make sound quality decisions.
  • Ability to work independently, stay organized, and manage multiple priorities.
  • Dependable attendance, punctuality, and commitment to safe work practices.
Preferred Experience
  • Previous manufacturing, quality inspection, or metallurgical laboratory experience.
  • Experience operating a Rockwell hardness tester or similar inspection equipment.
  • Familiarity with basic sanding, cut-off, grinding, or sample preparation equipment.
  • Experience using manufacturing, quality, or data entry systems.
  • Previous experience is preferred, but OhioMet is willing to train the right candidate who brings strong aptitude, reliability, and a commitment to doing quality work the right way.
Why OhioMet?
