FUNCTION:

Saw Operators 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.

OUTCOMES:

• Deliver material to multiple machines and finished goods to our shipping department
• Track flow of goods around the shop
• Run a METLSAW with hands on training to cut raw aluminum to size
• Programming material jobs if needed
• Loading/unloading flatbed and box trucks

COMPETENCIES:

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
