What is steel cutting?

Steel cutting jobs involve the process of cutting steel materials into specific shapes and sizes for use in construction, manufacturing, and fabrication. Professionals in this field may use a variety of tools and techniques, including saws, plasma cutters, lasers, and oxy-fuel torches, to achieve precise cuts according to technical drawings or specifications. These roles require strong attention to safety protocols and knowledge of different steel grades. Steel cutting is a critical step in producing metal components for buildings, machinery, vehicles, and many other products.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a steel cutter?

To thrive as a Steel Cutter, you need a solid understanding of metalworking techniques, blueprint reading, and measurement, often supported by a high school diploma or technical training. Familiarity with cutting equipment such as plasma cutters, oxy-fuel torches, and CNC machines, as well as relevant safety certifications, is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and a strong commitment to workplace safety are valuable soft skills in this role. These skills ensure precision, efficiency, and safety in producing high-quality steel components for various industrial applications.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in steel cutting, and how can they be overcome?

Steel cutting professionals often encounter challenges such as maintaining precision while working with tough materials, managing equipment wear, and ensuring safety in a high-risk environment. Overcoming these challenges involves regular equipment maintenance, adhering strictly to safety protocols, and continuous training on the latest cutting techniques and machinery. Collaboration with team members and supervisors is also important to troubleshoot issues and maintain productivity. Developing strong attention to detail and adaptability helps professionals thrive in this dynamic field.

Common Search/ComparisonSteel Cutting vs Welding

Steel Cutting involves shaping or sizing metal using tools like plasma cutters, saws, or shears, focusing on precise cuts. Welding, on the other hand, joins metal pieces together through heat and filler material. Both roles are essential in metal fabrication but serve different purposes in the manufacturing process.

Warehouse Coordinator

Lava Island

Aurora, CO โ€ข On-site

$28 - $30/hr

Full-time

Medical

Re-posted 10 hours ago


Job description

Welcome to Lava Island

Lava Island is an indoor play oasis where kids fly across trampolines, vanish into towering jungle gyms, dive into foam pits, and race down slides while families share pizza and celebrate birthdays in the party rooms. It is loud, bright, and full of energy.


Every trampoline, deck, slide, and play piece is made by hand. Active Play Solutions (APS) is the team that makes them.


The Job

You will run the APS warehouse in Denver. That is a real four-part job: receiving and inventory, the paperwork that keeps it all in sync (work orders, packing slips, reconciliation), the building itself (vendors, supplies, cleaning), and load-out, getting finished components staged, loaded, and shipped to park sites.


It is also a hybrid role right now. Until we hit the volume to justify a dedicated cutting operator, you will run the steel cutting machine and the CNC / beam saw alongside the warehouse work. When we get there, that piece moves off your plate and the warehouse grows.


This is a solo role. You are the warehouse, the receiver, the shipper, the paperwork, and for now the cutting operator. You report to the Production Manager.


Why APS

  • Real scope. This is not a stockroom job. It is running a warehouse, end to end, with real responsibility.
  • Variety. Physical work, paperwork, vendor calls, cutting machines, load-out. No two days look the same.
  • Steady company. APS is growing. The warehouse role grows with it.
  • Predictable schedule. Day shift in our Denver warehouse. No travel.
  • Benefits. Per company benefits program.


What You Will Do

Run the warehouse

  • Receive deliveries, verify them against POs and packing slips, and log them in.
  • Manage stock and inventory across the warehouse.
  • Operate forklifts and aerial lifts safely.
  • Distribute materials to the production crew as needed.

Own the paperwork

  • Manage work orders, packing slips, and order reconciliation.
  • Work with Procurement: they purchase and source, you receive, reconcile, and flag discrepancies.

Keep the building running

  • Manage warehouse vendors (trash, utilities, building services, cleaning).
  • Stock supplies. Keep the space clean and safe.

Get loads out

  • Coordinate with the Production Manager to move completed parts to the staging bays.
  • Pack, load, and ship trucks to park sites.

Run the cutting machines (for now)

  • Steel cutting machine and CNC / beam saw.
  • Read cut files, load stock, run the program, monitor the cut.
  • Keep the machines clean and maintained.


What You Need

  • Warehouse operations experience. Typically three or more years in receiving, inventory, distribution, and shipping in a manufacturing or industrial warehouse.
  • Forklift and aerial lift certified, or able to get certified within 30 days.
  • Hands-on experience with order reconciliation. You can match a packing slip to a PO and catch when something is off.
  • Comfortable with industrial cutting equipment, or willing to learn. The cutting machines are part of the job today.
  • Comfortable with email, spreadsheets, and inventory systems. APS uses Microsoft 365.
  • Detail-oriented and organized. The paperwork side matters as much as the physical side.
  • Independent. You will be running the warehouse on your own most days.

CNC, beam saw, plasma, or steel cutting experience is a plus. So is ERP or inventory system experience. So is bilingual (English / Spanish).
