Charter Steel Tech Stack
Electric arc furnace steelmaker producing specialty bar, rod, and coil from recycled materials
Charter Steel operates two primary mills (Wisconsin and Ohio) producing carbon and alloy steels via electric arc furnace, with a tech stack anchored in Rockwell Automation and Siemens controls, Oracle ERP, and legacy QAD MES — typical of mid-scale industrial manufacturing. Active projects cluster heavily around safety compliance (ISO 50001, lockout/tagout, confined space, fall protection) and energy management, reflecting dual operational priorities: regulatory alignment and cost reduction. The hiring mix leans intern and junior (20 of 38 open roles), concentrated in engineering and manufacturing, suggesting either attrition replacement or capacity scaling for new product lines.
