Job DescriptionJob DescriptionWe are looking for a Full Time Experienced Metal Straightener to join our team!Location: Shelby Township, MI 48315Schedule: Monday - Friday 7am - 4:30pmReports to: Floor Lead / Straightening RoomPay: $27 - $38 an hour based on experienceThe Role Heat treating hardened tool steel to 60-69 Rockwell C can introduce warp and distortion. You'll correct it using hand presses, straightening benches, and our 20-ton hydraulic press, bringing tools back to the customer's spec without cracking or scrapping hardened, high-value tooling. You'll work across both hot straightening (immediately post-quench, where timing and material knowledge matter) and final straightening (post-temper, post-blast). We need someone who can independently handle our full range of materials and job types, including RUSH and TOP PRIORITY jobs across our core high-speed steel grades (PMM4, PMT15, and M2), with minimal scrap and minimal rework.What You'll DoIndependently straighten tooling across our full material range (M2 through high-cobalt/powder-metal HSS grades) and full size range (1/8 -5 diameter, 5 -85 length)Work both hot straightening (post-quench) and final straightening (post-temper) stationsRead work tickets and apply the correct technique per material grade, hardness target, and temper stageUse dial indicators, fixturing, and gauges to verify straightness against toleranceMake the call on borderline pieces - straighten, flag for re-treatment, or rejectSign off / stamp completed work for shippingMentor and train apprentice straighteners as our apprenticeship program ramps upHelp identify and resolve recurring distortion issues by job/material to reduce reworkWhat We're Looking For (Qualifications):2+ years of hands-on metal straightening experience, ideally in heat treating, tool & die, or precision metal fabricationWorking knowledge of Rockwell hardness scales and how hardness/temper stage affects straightening techniqueComfortable making independent judgment calls on hardened, high-value tooling (no double-checking every piece)Experience with hydraulic presses, hand presses, and precision measuring tools (dial indicators, gauges)Track record of low scrap/rework ratesReliable, safety-conscious, comfortable in an industrial floor environment (heat, noise, PPE)Physical Demands: Standing for extended periods, repetitive lifting/pressing motions, exposure to heat near furnace and hot-straightening areas, PPE required (gloves, safety glasses).Lifting up to 50 lb regularly; heavier with equipment assistance.Company DescriptionSolutions Heat Treating is one of fewer than five companies in the U.S. that can vertically harden a tool up to 85 inches long. We specialize in heat treating high-speed steel (HSS) broaches and precision cutting tools for a well-established customer base across the U.S. and Canada, with deep roots in metro Detroit's broaching industry.Company DescriptionSolutions Heat Treating is one of fewer than five companies in the U.S. that can vertically harden a tool up to 85 inches long.
