Furnace Operator- 3 Day Work Week! (Administrative)
Not many people can say they played a role in making parts for spaceships, airplanes, medical devices such as pacemakers, and so much more! You can be one of the few as a Furnace Operator at Solar Atmospheres in Greenville, SC! Our Furnace Operators carry out vacuum heat treating and brazing services to some of the most notable companies out there.
If youre new to heat treating youll start as a Shop Floor Technician, helping the Operators with general labor, setting up products for furnaces, etc. After training (typically 6+ months), youll learn the ropes from your tenured co-workers on how to provide heat-treating services of the highest possible quality.
We currently have positions available on our weekday night shift running from 7 pm to 7:30 am (12 hours plus a lunch break), 3 days a week (Tuesday, Thursday, & Friday). This shift is during the week, no weekends required! You may be thinking, But thats only 36 hours of pay a week! That is true but Solar Atmospheres pays their employees overtime after 8 hours a day, so with overtime factored in, you are still paid like you worked 40 hours!

High School Diploma or GED required Basic math skills will serve you very well Reliable and organized with the ability to multitask and prioritize Comfortability working in a fast-paced environment moving around consistently throughout the day Ability to lift, bend, reach, and stand for extended periods of time Experience in manufacturing, warehousing, or heat treating is a plus but willing to train!
