Industrial Athlete/General Labor – Kripke Metal Processing

Great athletes aren’t made by easy days. They’re built in the grind, the repetition, the teamwork, and the discipline to show up and perform. At Kripke Metal Processing, we’re looking for someone who brings that same mentality to the floor every day.

Yes, this role is physical. You’ll move material, operate equipment, lift 25+ lbs. repeatedly, and work in a fast-paced environment. But what makes KMP different isn’t the workout — it’s what you get back.

What Our Team Members Say

In the words of the people who show up here every day:

1. “Everyone here cares.” The culture is real, not a poster on the wall.

2. “Promises are kept.” When Kripke says something will happen, it does!

3. “My health, safety, and financial well-being are always a top priority.” We look out for our people.

4. “More bonuses, benefits, and incentives than anywhere I’ve ever worked.” We reward performance.

5. “The President of the company invited me to lunch — and I haven’t even been here six months.” Your voice matters here from day one.

The Role: What You’ll Train For and Own

No prior experience required. We’ll coach you up. What we need is the right mindset.

• Learn and live the KMP culture — it’s the foundation of how we operate
• Commit to safety protocols and follow them without shortcuts
• Identify and purchase materials with growing expertise
• Work with your hands using hand and air-powered tools
• Perform repetitive lifts of 25–75 lbs. with proper form and consistency
• Build your knowledge of the recycling process from the ground up
• Master our systems and workflows with strong attention to detail
• Operate a forklift and Bobcat (training provided)
• Use basic computer skills to navigate our inventory and processing system
• Identify ways to make our operation faster and sharper
• Keep your workspace clean, organized, and competition-ready
• Position is Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. with some overtime (depending on the workload) during the week and on ½ day on Saturdays.
