when a person does physical work at a company/factory

[alpacinou]

I want to say a person does physical work at a company/factory. For example, they move things around.

I thought about saying this:

He is worker at a steel company.

What does worker exactly connote? Is it too general? Could it mean that the person sits behind a computer and types letters or he might do physical work?

What about this?

He is blue-collar worker at a steel company.

Yes.

Yes, that narrows it down some.

You could also say he's a steelworker.
