FUNCTION:

Material Handlers at Protomet ensure the wheel keeps moving, keeping the flow of goods around the plant while also cutting the raw stock down to the machinable bars we need. A self-starter is ideal for this role.

Deliver material to multiple machines and finished goods to our shipping department
Track flow of goods around the shop
Loading/unloading flatbed and box trucks
Assist the shipping department with orders

QualificationsCOMPETENCIES

Cultural

Fulfillment at work most often occurs when personal values align with those of the organization. Protomet associates it’s collective character with the following traits:

Second Mile

The first mile is mandatory. The second mile is voluntary; we do it for our own growth.

Don’t Touch the Marshmallow

This references the famous psychological experiment studying the strength to reject short term gratification in favor of a larger reward later. We err towards celebrating later, not sooner.

Abundance Mindset

Life is not a zero-sum game. We strive to reject scarcity mindsets and instead “grow the pie”. Example – is a new “A” player on your team an asset or a threat?

Skills Beat Credentials

What you can do is all that matters. Credentials alone won’t get you anywhere at Protomet.

That’s Hard…Good

Growth happens the most in the face of challenges. We recognize it is difficult to grin as you are being tested, but it’s possible, and we’re getting better at it.

Functional

World-class attention to detail
Practical intelligence, curiosity and an aptitude for learning
Drive to get better every day
