He started his career at the Edgar Thompson Steel Works in Pittsburgh, before moving to Homestead in 1887 as superintendent of the structural material production department.
It was during this time that he married Esther Esther Bonner Munhall, daughter of John Munhall, oil and coal producer, one of the business partners with his brother, Charles Michael Schwab.

When Charles became President of United States Steel, Joseph left Carnegie Steel to become Charles' assistant. Two years later, Joseph became President of American Steel Foundries. His career as leader of option brokers saw him transacting perhaps more business than Russell Sage.( During the war years of 1917-1918, there was an urgent demand for his options).
