The Role: We are seeking a reliable, safety-conscious Heat Treat Operator to join our team in our state-of-the-art automated heat treat facility. This isn't just a "heavy lifting"job; you'll be managing the flow of parts through advanced automated systems and ensuring our quality standards are met through every thermal cycle.

Loading/Unloading: Prepare parts for the heat treat process, ensuring proper orientation and spacing for optimal thermal processing. Quality Inspection: Conduct visual inspections and basic hardness testing (training provided) to ensure parts meet customer specifications. Documentation: Maintain accurate logs of production numbers and furnace settings.

Forklift Experience: Minimum of 1-2 years of experience in a fast-paced industrial or warehouse environment. Stamina for 12s: Ability to remain active and alert throughout a 12-hour shift. Industrial Mindset: A strong "Safety First"attitude. Heat treat environments can be hot and require strict adherence to PPE and safety protocols. Reliability: In a rotating schedule, your team depends on you to be there. Consistent attendance is a must. Tech Literacy: Comfortable using basic computer interfaces to monitor automated machinery. Previous Experience as a Heat treat Operator Why Join Us? Modern Facility: Work with advanced automation, not just old-school manual labor. Detroit Strong: Be part of the local manufacturing backbone in the heart of the Motor City. Built-in Overtime: 12-hour shifts often result in built-in OT and a consistent paycheck. Apply Today!
