Chesapeake, VA

⭐ Reclaim / Scrap Operator

Full‑Time • 12‑Hour Shifts • Growth‑Focused Manufacturing Role

Start your manufacturing career with a company that invests in you. This is a hands‑on role where you help recycle aluminum material, support machine operators, and keep production running smoothly. No prior manufacturing experience is required—just reliability, a strong work ethic, and the desire to learn.

What You’ll Do

  • Recycle aluminum material by peeling protective film from large sheets and feeding them into a separator
  • Support machine operators by organizing scrap, moving materials, and keeping production flowing
  • Maintain a clean workspace by sweeping, removing debris, and assisting with basic machine cleaning
  • Follow safety procedures including PPE use and lockout/tagout when required
  • Operate pallet jacks and other light equipment
  • Perform frequent physical tasks such as bending, lifting (30–50 lbs), climbing, and standing throughout the shift
  • Participate in cross‑training to learn new machines and processes
  • Take on additional duties as assigned to support reclaim and production operations

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • Comfortable working around large industrial equipment
  • Able to wear PPE (safety shoes, glasses, gloves, hearing protection)
  • Can bend, lift, climb, and stand for long periods
  • Willing to work rotating 12‑hour shifts (day or night)
  • Reliable, safety‑minded, and eager to learn
  • Experience in general labor, warehouse, or production is helpful—but not required

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Stable, long‑term opportunity with a global leader in aluminum and composite manufacturing
  • Hands‑on training and cross‑training that builds real manufacturing skills
  • Clear growth path for individuals who want to advance
  • Benefits, PTO, and sick leave included
  • Supportive, team‑oriented environment focused on safety and development
  • Company‑provided shirts and jackets (no hoodies/drawstrings near machinery for safety)

Work Environment

  • Non–climate‑controlled production facility with exposure to heat
  • Work around large machinery and moving equipment
  • Required PPE: steel‑toe shoes, gloves, safety glasses, hearing protection
  • 12‑hour rotating schedule:
    • Days: 6:00 a.m.–6:15 p.m.
    • Nights: 6:00 p.m.–6:15 a.m.
    • 2‑2‑3 rotation (built‑in long weekends)
  • Must be able to transition to night shift after training if assigned
