Overhead Crane Operator/ Steel Loader Job at Merrill Steel, Inc.

The Loaders at Merrill Steel transport large heavy steel pieces such as columns, trusses and I-beams onto flatbed trailers for the OTR Drivers using overhead cranes within the building. It is crucial that the Loaders understand weight distribution and have the ability to pre-plan how loads of steel pieces will fit onto trailers safely so that they will be securely transported across the country. Loaders are climbing on and off the trailers while guiding the steel with overhead cranes, so having a natural sense of safety and agility is required.
