What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mill General Helper position at Bull Moose Tube?
Who We Are
Bull Moose Tube is a leading North American manufacturer of steel pipe and tubing, founded in 1962 and based in Chesterfield, Missouri. We are a major producer of Hollow Structural Sections (HSS), mechanical tubing, and the market leader in sprinkler pipe, operating seven manufacturing plants across the US.
What You’ll Do
As a Mill General Helper, you support the slitting operation by preparing, running, and monitoring equipment so master coils are converted into accurate slit coils for downstream mills. This role exists to keep production moving safely while meeting quality expectations.
Key responsibilities include operating coil entry equipment (coil car, turnstile, forklift, overhead crane), selecting coils to match the slitter schedule, threading and guiding coil through the slitter to the recoiler, and performing correct unbanding/banding. You’ll also assist with slitter setup—installing rubbers, spacers, knives, and separator shafts—and follow all safety, quality, and housekeeping standards.
Required skills/qualifications:
- Mechanical aptitude and attention to detail
- Ability to read micrometers, calipers, gauges, and tape measures
- Ability to interpret slitter schedules and use shop floor/computer systems
- Strong teamwork and clear communication
Apply today to be considered for this full-time, onsite opportunity in Elkhart, IN.
A Typical Shift
You start by checking the day’s slitter schedule and coordinating with the crew on priorities and changeovers. After verifying coil identification and paperwork in the shop floor system, you stage material and get the area ready for the next run. Throughout the shift, you stay alert to line pace, coil tracking, and finished-coil organization, communicating quickly when adjustments are needed. You’ll rotate between hands-on tasks and brief computer entries, keeping the workspace orderly and ready for the next setup. Expect a steady, physical pace on an 8-hour weekday shift, with overtime or weekend coverage when production demand increases; rotating shifts may be available.
