Annealing Technician - Forklift & Crane

$22.00-$25.00/hour | Overnight Shift | 7:00 PM-7:00 AM | Pitman Schedule

Looking for a hands-on manufacturing position where you can operate equipment, learn the annealing process, and build your skills?

We're looking for a dependable, safety-focused Annealing Technician to join our team. This position plays an important role in our annealing process by keeping material organized and moving safely through the department.

You'll operate forklifts and overhead cranes, stage and pile steel, set up furnaces and coolers, and work with your crew to keep production running safely and efficiently.

This is a great opportunity for someone with manufacturing, forklift, crane, or material-handling experience who wants to learn the annealing process and build a long-term career with Worthington Steel.

Benefits That Stand Out

We focus on taking care of our people - from day one.

  • Day 1 Benefits - Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance. Worthington Steel covers approximately 87% of medical premiums.
  • 401(k) - 3% automatic company contribution plus up to a 2% company match.
  • Quarterly Profit Sharing - More Than Just a Bonus - Eligible employees receive profit-sharing payouts each quarter based on company performance. Your payout is tied to your base pay, so as your hourly rate increases, your profit-sharing opportunity increases too. Recent annual profit-sharing payouts have averaged $6,000-$10,000, giving employees another way to earn more beyond their regular wages and overtime.
  • Overtime Pay - Time and a half after 40 hours and double time after 48 hours.
  • Paid Time Off - Vacation plus 11 paid holidays.
  • Tuition Reimbursement - Continue your education and build your skills.
  • $180 Annual Boot Allowance
  • $5,000 Adoption Assistance
  • On-Site Perks - Fitness center, barbershop, free coffee, and hot beverages.

What We're Looking For
