Metal Construction involves assembling and installing metal structures on-site, often requiring knowledge of safety standards and working in construction environments. Metal Fabricators focus on creating metal components in workshops, using welding and cutting techniques. While both roles require similar certifications and safety training, their work environments and job focuses differ significantly.

What are typical collaboration practices between metal construction workers and other trades on a job site?

Metal construction professionals frequently coordinate with electricians, plumbers, and general contractors to ensure that structural frameworks, roofing, and siding installations are completed safely and efficiently. Effective communication and scheduling are vital, as metalwork often serves as a foundation for other trades to follow. Team meetings and daily briefings help clarify project timelines, address safety protocols, and resolve any conflicts that might arise. This collaborative environment not only streamlines workflow but also enhances quality and safety on the job site.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in metal construction?

To excel in Metal Construction, you need strong knowledge of metalworking techniques, blueprint reading, and construction safety standards, often supported by a high school diploma or technical certification. Familiarity with tools such as welding equipment, CNC machines, and industry-specific software like AutoCAD is frequently required. Attention to detail, teamwork, and effective problem-solving are crucial soft skills in this field. These abilities ensure the safe, precise, and efficient completion of metal structures, meeting both client and regulatory requirements.

Job description

Build a Career Where Your Craftsmanship Is the Product

Great ductwork doesn't happen by accident. It takes a steady hand, a sharp eye, and someone who refuses to let a piece leave the shop unless it's right. If that sounds like you, we want to talk.


Air Control is looking for an experienced Journeyman Sheet Metal Fabricator to join a shop that treats fabrication as a skilled trade worth mastering — not a task to rush through. You'll work with quality equipment, alongside people who take the work seriously, on HVAC ductwork, custom sheet metal, and specialty components that get installed across our region every day. This is a long-term seat with a company that's been growing since 1990 and reinvests in the people who build it.


If you're dependable, detail-driven, and ready to put your name behind your work, you'll fit right in here.


What You'll Build

  • Fabricate HVAC ductwork and custom sheet metal components to spec and shop drawings
  • Run the full lineup of shop equipment — brakes, shears, rollers, plasma tables, and more
  • Read and interpret blueprints, shop drawings, and work orders
  • Measure, cut, bend, assemble, and finish sheet metal products with precision
  • Handle layout work and hold every piece to a high quality standard
  • Keep your workspace clean, organized, and safe
  • Work closely with shop personnel, installers, and project managers to keep jobs moving on schedule
  • Inspect finished products for accuracy and quality before they ship or get installed
  • Follow company safety policies and procedures, every time


What You Bring

  • Journeyman-level sheet metal fabrication experience preferred
  • Strong command of HVAC duct fabrication and sheet metal construction techniques
  • Ability to read blueprints, schematics, and fabrication drawings
  • Confident, safe operation of fabrication equipment and power tools
  • Solid math and measuring skills
  • Ability to lift, carry, and move materials up to 75 pounds
  • Sharp attention to detail and genuine pride in quality workmanship
  • Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record preferred
  • Self-starter who also pulls for the team


What We Offer:

  • Company Paid Health Insurance
  • Company Paid Short Term Disability
  • Voluntary Dental/Vision
  • Voluntary Life Insurance 
  • Supplemental life insurance, and long-term disability available
  • 401k Plan with a company match
  • Paid Time Off
  • Company Paid Holidays
  • Ongoing Training
  • A family-oriented culture—where we support one another, celebrate wins, and have fun along the way.
