    • Oversee preventative maintenance programs for shop equipment.
    • Monitor work quality, equipment, and shop operations to ensure safety, productivity, and quality standards are achieved.
    • Participate in recruiting, hiring, training, mentoring, and developing shop personnel.
    • Evaluate employee performance and recommend compensation and development opportunities.
    • Lead by example as a working manager, assisting with fabrication and production activities when necessary.
    • Perform other duties as required to support shop operations.
    Qualifications
    • 10+ years of experience in steel fabrication, mechanical fabrication, shop operations, or industrial manufacturing.
    • Previous estimating experience within a fabrication or mechanical contracting environment.
    • Previous supervisory or management experience in a fabrication or manufacturing operation.
    • Ability to read and interpret blueprints, fabrication drawings, and engineering documents.
    • Strong knowledge of welding, fabrication, machining, and metal processing operations.
    • Experience with CNC plasma, laser, waterjet, or similar fabrication equipment is highly desirable.
    • Demonstrated commitment to workplace safety and maintaining a strong safety culture.
    • Experience leading safety initiatives, employee training, and OSHA compliance programs.
    • Strong leadership, organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
    • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office; experience with estimating software, CAD viewers, or CNC software is beneficial.
    • Engineering degree is preferred but not required.
