Sheet Metal Fabricators are responsible for the setup, operation and adjustment of various fabrication machines such as saws, shears, punch presses, press brakes, and grinders, to shape and alter sheet metal according to customer specifications.

• Operate saws, shears, CNC sheet metal fabrication machinery (CNC turret punch, router, press brakes, lasers) to cut, shear, punch, bend, or straighten sheet metal or other parts and material.
• Perform setups or adjustments according to program directives, using shims, blocks, supports, and fixtures to ensure proper alignment of parts.
• Determine project requirements (materials, cutting lines, dimensions, tolerances) using blueprints, drawings, work orders or written/verbal instructions.
• Lay out, measure, and mark dimensions and reference lines on material using calculators, dividers, squares, or rulers.
• Measure and inspect completed work pieces to verify conformance to specifications using micrometers, gauges, calipers, templates or rulers.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area.
• Follow directions consistently and accept responsibility for actions and work product.
• Comply with applicable manufacturing processes, work procedures, and supervisor instructions.
• Adhere to safety guidelines and procedures; proactively identify job hazards and collaborate with leadership to minimize hazards and ensure employee safety.

• Regular attendance on‑site at the workplace is required.

• High School diploma or GED equivalent is required.
• A minimum of one (1) year experience in a production/manufacturing role requiring the use of hand tools and material‑handling equipment is preferred; recent vocational training in a metal‑working or other technical role may be considered in lieu of work experience.

• Experience reading and accurately interpreting blueprints, technical drawings, work orders and customer specifications.
• Experience using precision measuring instruments such as micrometers, gauges, calipers, templates, or rulers.
• Experience using powered electric and/or pneumatic hand tools including grinders or sanders is preferred.
