Position Summary & Responsibilities

Operations Associate | Nox Metals | Detroit, MI

About Nox Metals. American factories deserve a supply chain that moves as fast as they do. Nox Metals is building it, along with the tools that run it. We’re a technology company in Metro Detroit supplying aluminum plate, bar, and rounds to aerospace and defense manufacturers. We use software and automation to supply metal to American factories faster than the industry thought possible.

The role. We're hiring an Operations Associate to be our General Manager's right hand. This is not a 40-hour job. You'll work across the factory floor and the office, learn how the whole operation runs, and keep it moving. You'll get handed problems nobody has solved yet. Take them as far as you can, and when you get stuck, come back with what you tried and what you think we should do next.

As Nox opens new plants and our GM spends time getting them running, you're the person who keeps Detroit running without missing a beat. You report to the General Manager.

You don't need a manufacturing background. Some of the people who've grown fastest here came from finance, engineering, and supply chain. What they had in common: they wanted to work hard, took whatever job needed doing, and figured it out.

Shift hours:

Monday through Friday, 6:30 AM to 4:00 PM on paper. In reality, expect 60 to 80 hours a week for the foreseeable future, including early mornings, late nights, and weekends.

You will:

· Learn the factory inside and out: how an order moves from quote to cut to ship, and where it gets stuck

· Keep our GM organized: track priorities, follow up on open items, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks

· Own projects end to end, from figuring out the problem to getting it fixed

· Dig into the numbers behind the operatio
