One of the missions of Cleveland-Cliffs Steel is to utilize the latest technological advances available in the steel industry which affords our engineers countless unique opportunities to apply the knowledge and skills they learned during their undergraduate engineering studies, from fluids, to power transmission, to heat transfer, to strength of materials, and to any of the other disciplines within mechanical engineering. The technologies that are employed today span 50 years, therefore, the range of knowledge required is broad from simple water-based hydraulics through highly sophisticated servo systems. Likewise, this mission also affords the Company the continuous need to recruit and hire the best and brightest engineers available.
Our main functions are to operate, maintain, upgrade, and purchase new equipment to produce steel products to satisfy our customers’ ever increasing product demands. The processes are complex and highly interactive. Technically skilled management is required to handle the production challenges of today and guide the business into future generations of steels and their competitive production.
