At KYJO Steel, we pride ourselves in not only providing the best results and service to our clients, but also in being a great place to grow a career. Don’t just take our word for it…take a look at what Jesse Boll, a KYJO employee has to say.

Jesse’s extensive knowledge of rolling and forming steel allows KYJO to take on complicated, challenging customer requirements and be successful at it…often jobs that the competition would shy away from!

1. What is your role at KYJO? And how long have you worked for KYJO?

I am a Master Roller, Front Shop Supervisor, and Health and Safety Representative. I began working at KYJO Steel on October 21, 2006, under the previous owner.

2. Describe your daily activities on the job at KYJO?

Every day is a different day! We roll a variety of parts, in a variety of sizes and shapes. We do lots of custom jobs, so no day is the same as the previous day. I also assist the other guys in the shop if they have questions on an as-needed basis.

3. How did you first learn about KYJO?

I heard about KYJO Steel through a family friend.

4. What have you gained from working at KYJO?

I have gained extensive knowledge about rolling and forming steel.  I have also learned to not give up if at first it seems the task is impossible.  There is always a way to get it done!

I would like to think I have also improved my people skills and now have the knowledge and confidence to help others.  On a practical level, I have learned training skills, how to drive a fork truck, operate overhead cranes, and am even trained in first aid.

5. What is on your wish list for the next 5 years with KYJO?

The things I would like to see for KYJO are a new large plate roller, Mandrill Bender, and Larger Ram Bender.

6. What is your favorite part about working for KYJO?

My favorite part of my job is coming to work every day and not knowing what challenge I will face! I also enjoy seeing and having fun with the people I work with.

7. What is your proudest moment at KYJO?

That’s an easy one…my proudest moment by far is rolling the tubing to make the maple leaf that is on the Toronto Maple Leaf’s scoreboard at Scotiabank Arena!

8. If you could do another job for just one day, what would it be?

In another life I would be a Motorcycle Fabricator/Fishing Boat Owner…

9. What are 3 words to describe KYJO culture?

Mysterious, Challenging, Fun

10.  What do you enjoy outside of KYJO?  What are your hobbies?

In my spare time I like kayaking, hiking, and drawing.
