Fedorenko was transferred to Fairfield Works in Alabama in 1990, where he was named manager of engineering. In 1996, he was named senior area manager of sheet products, and in 1998 he was named division manager of utilities, shops and services. He returned to Pittsburgh in 2000, when he was named plant manager of the Irvin Plant of Mon Valley Works.
In September 2003, Fedorenko was named, vice president-technology at U. S. Steel Kosice (USSK), U. S.

He progressed through several supervisory positions in the Electrical and Caster Maintenance departments at Edgar Thomson before he was named senior process leader of coating operations at the Irvin Plant, where steel slabs from Edgar Thomson are rolled into sheet products.
In 1997 he was transferred to Pro-Tec Coating Company in Leipsic, Ohio, U. S. Steel's joint venture with Kobe Steel of Japan, where he managed the installation and commissioning of the facility's second continuous galvanizing line.
