NOT LOOKING FOR A DESK JOB? BUILD A CAREER THAT KEEPS YOU MOVING!
Do you enjoy hands-on work, solving problems and being part of a team that gets things done?
Are you ambitious, hardworking and interested in building a career where you could one day lead your own team?
At Combined Metal Industries (CMI), we're looking for motivated individuals to join our Yard Operations Leadership Development Program.
You don't need to have it all figured out. You need the right attitude, a strong work ethic and a willingness to learn.
This isn't your typical office job. You'll be working in a busy, fast-paced scrap metal recycling yard, learning how the operation runs from the ground up. Our goal? To develop people who understand the business, know how to work alongside their teams and have the potential to become future operations leaders.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING...
You'll learn what it takes to run a successful metal recycling operation by gaining real, hands-on experience.
- Get hands-on in the yard: Work alongside our operations teams to understand how scrap metal is received, sorted, processed and shipped.
- Learn the equipment and processes: Gain exposure to the machinery, equipment and systems that keep our yards running.
- Understand daily operations: Learn how materials, people and equipment move through the yard to keep production on track.
- Solve real problems: Help identify ways to improve safety, productivity and efficiency.
- Learn from experienced leaders: Work closely with supervisors and managers who will coach you on running a successful operation.
- Build your leadership skills: As you gain experience, take on greater responsibility and develop the skills needed to lead a team.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR...
We're not looking for someone who knows everything about metal recycling. We're looking for someone who wants to learn.
You'll be a great fit if you:
- Enjoy hands-on work and would rather be active than sit behind a desk all day.
- Have a strong work ethic and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty.
- Are curious about machinery, equipment, manufacturing or industrial operations.
- Take initiative, ask questions and enjoy figuring out how things work.
- Work well with different people and want to develop your leadership skills.
- Are comfortable working in an active industrial yard environment.
- Take safety seriously and are willing to learn from experienced team members.
- Want more than just a job - you're looking for a career with room to grow.
Experience in a warehouse, manufacturing, construction, logistics or industrial environment is an asset, but not required.
A university degree isn't required. What matters most is your attitude, work ethic and willingness to learn.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
- Competitive starting salary: $65,000-$75,000 annually.
- Hands-on training: Learn the business through practical experience, not just classroom training.
- Leadership development: Build the skills and experience needed to pursue future supervisory and management opportunities.
- Career growth: Join a growing company that believes in developing and promoting talent from within.
- Comprehensive benefits: Health benefits and ongoing development opportunities.
- Real impact: Be part of an essential industry that keeps valuable materials in use.
