The Foreman will oversee teams that include machine operators, welders, fitters, and material handlers while ensuring work is organized, staged properly, and completed safely and efficiently.

  • Monitoring production goals, deadlines, and shop performance
  • Supporting equipment and operational troubleshooting as needed
  • Reinforcing safety procedures and quality standards
  • Coaching employees and helping develop newer team members
  • Maintaining communication with shop leadership throughout the shift


Qualifications

  • 37 years of experience in manufacturing, fabrication, or industrial environments
  • 3+ years in structural steel fabrication
  • Prior experience in a beam, column, or heavy structural steel environment preferred
  • Previous experience leading or coordinating crews on a production floor
  • Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to read fabrication drawings and production instructions
  • A hands-on leadership style with a team-first mentality


Why JGM?

  • Consistent overtime opportunities
  • Full benefits package including Medical, Dental, Vision, and 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off and holiday pay
  • Paid training and advancement opportunities
  • Stable, year-round work
  • Opportunity to grow into higher-level leadership roles
  • Team-oriented culture with strong shop leadership
  • Daily snack and drink card


At JGM, we invest in people who want long-term growth and opportunity within a company that continues to expand.
