Utility Operator- Rotating Day Shift

Think of the Utility Operator at Skana Aluminum as the ultimate behind-the-scenes hero—the Swiss Army knife of our production floor. If you like variety, staying busy, and being the go-to person that keeps things running smoothly, this role’s for you. You’ll jump in wherever needed, from moving materials with heavy-duty toys (forklifts and cranes), to helping operators with machines, to making sure everything stays clean, safe, and efficient. You’re not just supporting production—you are production.

What You’ll Be Doing (AKA Your Superpowers):

• Master of Many Hats: Support different departments like a pro. One minute you’re moving materials, the next you’re helping set up machines.

• Forklift Phenom & Crane Commander: Safely transport materials, products, and scrap like a logistics ninja.

• Clean Machine: Keep work areas sparkling by sweeping, shoveling, and keeping everything neat (because safety and cleanliness go hand-in-hand).

• Machine Sidekick: Help run equipment (safely, of course) and support operators so production keeps moving.

• Quality Control Agent: Keep an eye out for defects—if something’s off, you’ll spot it.

• 5S Rockstar: Stay organized, work efficiently, and help create a space everyone’s proud of.

• Packaging Pro: Assist with packing, labeling, and making sure our finished goods are shipment-ready.

• Team Player Extraordinaire: Communicate clearly, work well with others, and jump in where help is needed.

• Safety First, Always: PPE? Check. Safety procedures? You know them like the back of your hand.

What You Bring to the Table:

🛠️ Skills & Abilities:

• A knack for multitasking, working independently, and keeping calm in a fast-paced environment.

• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds—think gym day, but you're getting paid.

• Strong eyes (for spotting defects) and good ears (to hear your favorite playlist under hearing protection).

• Ability to read, write, measure, and follow detailed instructions—math skills and mechanical curiosity are a plus.

🎓 Qualifications:

• High school diploma or GED preferred.

• Previous manufacturing experience? Required. 

• Able to read work orders, follow instructions, and communicate clearly with the team.

• Familiar with tape measures, gauges, and computers for logging production and analyzing numbers.

Work Life at Skana (The Real Deal):

• It’s loud, it’s fast, it’s physical—but it’s also rewarding.

• You’ll be surrounded by moving parts, powerful machines, and a team that has your back.

• We’ve got your PPE and safety protocols covered.

• Expect a workout—on your feet, moving, lifting, operating equipment, and making things happen all shift long.

What hours will you be working:

• 2-2-3 schedule working from 5:45pm- 6am
