Integrated North American steel producer with vertical mining-to-finished-goods operations
Cleveland-Cliffs operates a vertically integrated steel business spanning iron ore mining, pellet production, direct reduced iron, scrap processing, primary steelmaking, and downstream finishing—serving the automotive sector. The tech stack reveals a hybrid industrial-operations posture: manufacturing-floor systems (SCADA, PLC, CNC, SAP) paired with enterprise software (Workday, Ceridian, ADP, ETAP), and a recent identity modernization push (adopting Azure Entra ID, replacing Active Directory). Active hiring across manufacturing, engineering, and operations roles—with accelerating velocity—maps to concurrent projects in predictive maintenance, process control, and capital expansion.
Cleveland-Cliffs is a publicly traded North American steel producer headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, with approximately 25,000 employees across US and Canadian operations. The company's competitive position rests on vertical integration: it controls iron ore mining, pellet production, direct reduced iron facilities, ferrous scrap processing, and primary steelmaking, then layers on downstream finishing, stamping, tooling, and tubing capabilities. Primary customer base is the automotive industry, where value-added sheet products command margin. Current operational focus centers on cost reduction, safety and quality compliance, equipment reliability, and downtime minimization—typical pain points in capital-intensive, continuous-process manufacturing.
Manufacturing: SCADA, PLC, CNC, SAP. Enterprise: Workday, Ceridian, ADP, Dayforce, ETAP. Microsoft stack (365, Teams, SharePoint, Azure AD). Recently adopting Azure Entra ID to replace Active Directory.
