Killeen joined U.S. Steel in 1996 as a Management Associate at Gary Works.

In 2007, he relocated to U.S. Steel Serbia as the General Manager of Finishing before taking the role of General Manager of Primary Operations in 2008. In 2009, he returned to the United States as the Division Manager of Steel Production at Gary Works where he remained until 2011, when he returned to Europe as Plant Manager Operations at U.S. Steel Serbia before transferring to U.S. Steel Kosice, where he held roles in Operational Improvement and Safety. In 2013, he returned to Gary Works where he held a number of positions in coking, finishing, and primary operations before advancing to his current position as Plant Manager Primary Operations in 2016.
Gary Works is situated on the south shore of Lake Michigan in Gary, Ind.
