Job description

Build What Matters, Every Shift

With fresh leadership guiding a 50-year legacy, we’re accelerating our growth and investing in people. If you want a career home where your craft is valued and your development is prioritized, this could be your next move.

A Day in Your Life Here

You start by reviewing prints and work instructions, mapping out the best approach for each part. You’ll choose tooling, dial in machine settings, and move between forming, cutting, drilling, deburring, and assembly. Throughout the day, you verify dimensions with calipers, micrometers, scales, and gauges, log production details, and collaborate with engineering, production, and quality to resolve drawing or fabrication questions. You keep your area organized, follow all PPE and equipment safety procedures, and uphold AS9100 and company quality standards. Before the day ends, you perform mechanical assembly tasks—countersinking, riveting, fastening—and inspect the final result to confirm it meets spec.

What You’ll Work On
  • Read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, specifications, and work instructions.
  • Perform layout, measurement, forming, bending, cutting, drilling, deburring, and assembly on sheet metal.
  • Set up and operate fabrication equipment: press brakes, shears, punches, saws, drills, and related machinery.
  • Select appropriate tooling and determine correct machine settings for each job.
  • Fabricate components to precise dimensions and tolerances.
  • Use precision measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, scales, gauges) to verify accuracy.
  • Conduct drilling, countersinking, riveting, fastening, and other mechanical assembly work.
  • Identify drawing/fabrication issues and communicate with supervisors, engineering, and quality.
  • Accurately complete all required production and job documentation.
  • Follow established quality procedures and AS9100 requirements.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area; follow required PPE and equipment safety procedures.
  • Collaborate closely with production, engineering, quality, and other manufacturing teams.
Who Thrives Here

You’re a sheet metal fabricator who takes pride in precision. You multitask without losing focus, stay organized, and bring a cooperative, self-motivated attitude to a team-oriented environment.

What You Bring
  • High school diploma or vocational training preferred (not required).
  • 1–2 years of sheet metal fabrication experience preferred (not required).
  • Background in sheet metal fabrication or precision manufacturing.
  • Proven ability to read and work from blueprints and engineering drawings.
  • Experience setting up and operating sheet metal equipment.
  • Knowledge of forming methods, tooling, bend allowances, and fabrication best practices.
  • Skill with precision measuring instruments and working to tight tolerances.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude, attention to detail, and quality mindset; capable of making appropriate adjustments.
  • Reliable attendance and effective teamwork.
  • Experience in aerospace, defense, or AS9100 environments is a plus.
  • Excellent organization; able to prioritize, handle multiple tasks, and meet deadlines; follows directions.
  • Basic computer literacy and ability to learn new software.
  • Must be 18+; able to lift up to 75 lbs and stand for a full 8-hour shift.
Tools and Tech You’ll Use
  • Punch Press (Amada)
  • Press Brake (Amada)
  • Stamping Press
  • Roll Forming Machine
  • Measurement Gauges
  • Profile Roller
Skills That Set You Up for Success
  • Aerospace Manufacturing
  • Bend Deductions
  • Fabrication
  • Precision Sheet Metal
Why You’ll Love Working Here
  • Competitive pay with annual, fully paid continuing-education training.
  • Clear career growth supported by a professional development plan.
  • Employee recognition programs that celebrate great work.
  • Health, dental, vision, sick and vacation leave, on-site gym, and more.
  • 401(k) with a generous employer match.
  • Collaborative, entrepreneurial team culture.
