What is metals trading?

Metals trading refers to the buying and selling of physical metals such as gold, silver, copper, aluminum, and others, as well as related financial instruments like futures and options. Metals traders analyze market trends, supply and demand factors, geopolitical events, and economic indicators to make informed decisions and manage risk. This sector plays a crucial role in global supply chains and financial markets, supporting industries from manufacturing to technology. Metals trading can occur on commodity exchanges or over-the-counter markets, and it requires strong analytical, negotiation, and risk management skills.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a metals trader?

To thrive as a Metals Trader, you need strong analytical abilities, a solid understanding of financial markets, and often a degree in finance, economics, or a related field. Proficiency with trading platforms (like Bloomberg Terminal or Reuters Eikon), risk management tools, and sometimes relevant certifications (such as FINRA Series licenses) is important. Excellent communication, decision-making under pressure, and negotiation skills set top performers apart. These skills are crucial for making informed trades, managing risk, and building client relationships in the fast-moving metals markets.

What are some common challenges faced in a metals trading role, and how can new hires effectively navigate them?

Metals Trading professionals often face challenges such as volatile market prices, global supply chain disruptions, and the need to quickly analyze large volumes of market data. New hires can effectively navigate these challenges by developing strong analytical skills, staying updated on global economic trends, and actively communicating with colleagues in risk management, logistics, and sales. Building relationships with suppliers and customers, as well as gaining proficiency in trading platforms and compliance protocols, will also help new traders succeed and grow in their careers.

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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 cultureโ€”where we support one another, celebrate wins, and have fun along the way.
