BENSON, Ariz. (January 23, 2026) — Aluminum Dynamics is hosting a two-day hiring event to fill positions at its new $200 million recycled aluminum slab center now under construction in Benson, with plans to add up to 90 employees to its operations team, according to a company press release.
The hiring event will be held at the Benson Unified School District Cafeteria, 360 S. Patagonia St., on Jan. 24 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Jan. 25 from noon to 4 p.m.
Aluminum Dynamics Operations Manager Bill Glaser said the company is focused on onboarding early so new team members can help build out the operation. “We really want to get our operations team members onboard early,” Glaser said. “We like our team members to be involved in building the facility and installing the equipment, allowing them to get familiar with the equipment and how it operates before we begin commercial production.”
Positions include electrical and mechanical maintenance, operations, metallurgy, construction, manufacturing, shipping, equipment operations, and administration. While certain roles—such as Metallurgist and Accountant—require a four-year degree or equivalent experience, most openings require a high school diploma or GED, the release said.
Aluminum Dynamics currently has 13 team members based in Benson who will assist with training new hires, including safety practices and company culture. The company also plans to collaborate with local community colleges on metal manufacturing programs. Aluminum Dynamics, a subsidiary of Steel Dynamics, Inc., plans to recycle aluminum beverage cans and produce aluminum slabs at the facility, according to the press release.
