As a Bevel Operator, you will play a critical role in supporting some of our most important customer relationships. The quality, accuracy, and consistency of your work directly impacts fabrication efficiency, weld quality, delivery performance, and customer satisfaction.\n\nThis position is responsible for producing high-quality beveled plate components utilizing portable track torch equipment and oxy-fuel cutting processes. You will transform raw steel plate into production-ready components that meet exact customer specifications while maintaining the highest standards of safety, quality, and productivity.\n\nSuccess in this role requires a strong understanding of blueprint interpretation, bevel geometry, material characteristics, cutting parameters, and quality control. This is a highly skilled position best suited for an experienced steel processing professional who can work independently, maintain tight tolerances, and consistently deliver right-first-time results.\n\nWhat You'll Own\n\nProduction Operations\nSet up and operate portable track torch beveling equipment for production runs.\nLay out steel plate and determine proper positioning for bevel cutting operations.\nVerify material grade, thickness, dimensions, and job requirements prior to processing.\nEnsure all required consumables, gases, tips, and equipment components are available and functioning properly.\nMonitor cutting operations and make adjustments as necessary to maintain quality and productivity.\nCoordinate with material handlers and crane operators to safely load, position, and unload material while maximizing efficiency.\n\nQuality & Precision\nRead and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, work orders, and production specifications.\nVerify bevel angles, dimensions, tolerances, and finished part quality against customer requirements.\nUtilize measuring tools including tape measures, levels, protractors, micrometers, and other inspection equipment.\nAdjust cutting parameters such as travel speed, gas pressures, torch height, kerf compensation, and tip selection to achieve required results.\nIdentify quality concerns and take corrective action before parts move to the next stage of production.\nConsistently produce components that meet customer specifications and quality standards.\n\nEquipment & Maintenance\nPerform daily operator inspections and preventative maintenance activities.\nMonitor equipment performance and promptly communicate mechanical or operational concerns.\nWork closely with supervisors and maintenance personnel to minimize downtime and maintain production flow.\nMaintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment.\n\nSafety & Teamwork\nFollow all company safety policies, procedures, and safe work practices.\nSafely work around overhead cranes, material handling equipment, hot materials, and cutting operations.\nCommunicate effectively with supervisors, coworkers, maintenance personnel, and support departments.\nSupport overtime requirements and other production activities as business needs dictate.\nPerform additional duties as assigned.\n\nWhat It Takes to Be Successful\n\nRequired Qualifications\nMinimum 5 years of experience operating oxy-fuel beveling, burning, or plate-processing equipment in a steel fabrication, pressure vessel, pipe, shipbuilding, structural steel, or heavy industrial environment.\nDemonstrated experience producing precision bevels for weld preparation and fabrication applications.\nAbility to independently read and interpret complex blueprints, fabrication drawings, and production specifications.\nStrong understanding of bevel geometry, weld preparation requirements, dimensional tolerances, and material characteristics.\nProven ability to adjust cutting parameters, torch settings, gas pressures, travel speeds, and consumables to consistently achieve quality results.\nExperience working with thick plate materials and maintaining quality standards on customer-critical work.\nWorking knowledge of shop mathematics including fractions, decimals, measurements, and angles.\nStrong attention to detail and commitment to producing right-first-time results.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience operating Messer, Kinetic, or similar bevel cutting systems.\nExperience supporting customers with demanding quality requirements and tight delivery schedules.\nKnowledge of welding preparation requirements, fit-up practices, and fabrication workflows.\nExperience working within ISO-certified or quality-driven manufacturing environments.\n\nWhy North Shore Steel\nAt North Shore Steel, we build careers, not just jobs. Our team members work with industry-leading equipment, support critical customer projects, and play a direct role in delivering quality products safely and on time. If you take pride in craftsmanship, value teamwork, and enjoy producing precision work that matters, we'd like to talk with you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4961,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T06:08:49Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":14,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.484,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":73,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nssco-track-torch-operator-beveler","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nssco-track-torch-operator-beveler.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T20:49:06Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":5004,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4422380},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4422380"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnssco-track-torch-operator-beveler"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnssco-track-torch-operator-beveler"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnssco-track-torch-operator-beveler"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nssco-track-torch-operator-beveler\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnssco-track-torch-operator-beveler"}]}
