Nox Metals is a technology company in Detroit supplying metal. We use software and automation to supply metal to American factories faster than the industry thought possible.

Shift hours: Friday - Sunday, 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM.

You will:

Lead the weekend shift team, set the pace, own the outcome, execute a clean handoff

Take a clean handoff from the weekday team and leave the floor ready for Monday

Operate industrial saws, bandsaws, CNC equipment, and material handling systems

Load, measure, cut, and inspect aluminum plate, bar, and rounds to spec

Run forklifts and overhead cranes

Follow cut lists and production schedules with precision

Receive inbound material and verify against purchase orders

Package, label, and stage outbound shipments

Record cut data and job completions in our software systems, accurately, every time

Always ask questions, never guess when something is unclear

Look at every process and figure out how to make it better

Keep the floor clean, organized, and ready for the next job

Work safely every shift and hold your teammates to the same standard

You are:

Knowledgeable or experienced in a factory, metals service center, bandsaws, industrial saws, CNC equipment, or skilled trades

A natural leader, you set the standard for the shift and people follow because of how you work, not because of a title

Committed to safety, you follow every protocol, wear your PPE, and never cut corners that put people at risk

Always thinking about how to make processes better, you do not accept "this is how we have always done it"

Absolutely customer obsessed, delivery timelines matter because customers are counting on them

A team player with a good attitude, you make the shift better for everyone around you

Someone who takes ownership, if it is your shift, it is your responsibility

Precise under pressure and reliable, the weekend runs because you show up ready

Self-directed, you can run the floor with a smaller team and keep production moving

Comfortable with software, we track everything digitally and you will too

Organized and detail oriented

High agency, you handle big items alone and ask for help when needed

Low ego, you do the unglamorous work because it needs to get done

Able to lift up to 50 lbs and operate heavy equipment on your feet for a full shift

Happy to work weekends as your primary schedule

Not afraid to work outside normal hours when America demands it

Never says "that's not my job"
