Alcoa Intalco Works

What makes us unique

Within Intalco, there is a need for a wide variety of skills and people. Operating a large heavy industrial plant requires positions from entry level production and metallurgists to environmental engineers, auto mechanics, and many more (see list below). Most of the roles at Intalco are filled by entry-level employees who are trained for the specific jobs that they perform, like potroom operators who tend the pots where the aluminum is made and reline employees who build and rebuild the pots the aluminum is smelted in.

Once you become employed by Intalco, there is an opportunity for movement to different departments as needed by the business or as planned as part of career development. An apprenticeship program for millwrights and brick masons was restarted in 2018.

Some of the professions needed at a smelter are:

• Engineers: capital, metallurgic, mechanical, power, process, lean manufacturing, electrical, ITAS, and reliability
• Finance: accounting, financial analyst, business management
• Human resources: payroll specialist, and public relations
