About the role

Entech Staffing is looking for a Heat Treat Operator
Location: Detroit, MI Schedule: 12-Hour Rotating Schedule Day and night shifts available.
Shift: 6:00 am to 6:00 pm or 6:00 pm to 6:00 am Pay Rate: $18.00 an hour - starting, direct hire opportunities include an increase, profit sharing, benefits, etc.
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. You must feel at ease on a hilo and operating an electric pallet jack. Because we operate around the clock, this role requires someone comfortable with a 12-hour rotating schedule. You'll work hard when you're here, but you'll enjoy more consecutive days off than a standard 40-hour work week.
Key Responsibilities: Forklift Operation: Safely transport heavy bins and racks of automotive/industrial components to and from the furnace lines. System Monitoring: Oversee automated heat treat equipment, ensuring cycles are running correctly and responding to basic system alerts. 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.
What You'll Need
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!

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
