Tournesol Siteworks is a national manufacturer of landscape products for green buildings based in the San Francisco Bay Area. We’re a growing company, with manufacturing facilities in California, Washington and Texas, working on environmentally conscious commercial construction projects across the U.S and Canada. We’re a tight-knit group looking for a real team player. Having recently acquired Green screen, the leader in the 3D trellis systems, we’re looking to continue our growth and position as a leader in the market.

The Production team is currently seeking an individual with metal working, grinding, blasting and or powder experience for our Port Orchard, WA manufacturing facility. The Fabrication team works together with other departments to create, build, assemble and ship products for the commercial construction industry.

As a Finish Fabrication Production Lead, you will lead the day-to‑day execution of production activities for a team of approximately 5–8 employees. You will work under the direction of the Shift Supervisor to ensure work is completed safely, on schedule, to established quality standards, and at expected productivity levels.

You will help maintain the flow of materials and jobs through the grinding, prep and powder departments, support team members as needed, monitor progress against the production schedule, and address routine production obstacles before they impact delivery.

You will also be involved in processing materials for custom products from CAD drawings and will support continuous improvement efforts designed to improve safety, quality, productivity, and flow. You’ll have a direct hand in accomplishing our #1 goal – a successful project in every way.
