Metal Fabrication Machine Technician

Step into a hands-on role where your day starts on the production floor and ends with parts ready for the next build. You’ll move raw stock into position, set up equipment, and keep production flowing as you transform sheet and bar into precisely cut, bent, and formed components.

A day in the life

You arrive to review work instructions, stage material, and position it so each machine can perform the required operation. You’ll load and unload equipment, enter job data into computer programs, and shift between working solo and teaming up at multi-operator stations. Throughout the day, you’ll:

• Cut, bend, and shape metal as part of the pre-assembly process.
• Train on and operate a range of machines based on production needs, including: punch press, press brake, plasma cutting machine, laser cutting machine, shear, roller, band saw, overhead crane, robot work cell, and CNC Machining Center.
• Use and read measuring tools accurately to verify quality.
• Operate overhead cranes to stack and position parts safely.
• Rotate across different production areas to meet demand.
• Follow clear verbal and written instructions to complete work.
• Apply strong attention to detail to meet quality standards.
• Maintain a clean, orderly, and safe work area by following procedures, rules, and regulations.
• Demonstrate reliable, regular attendance.
• Take on additional duties and responsibilities as assigned.

What you bring

• At least 6 months of experience in manufacturing or general labor.
• Preferred: 1+ year of machine operation experience in a manufacturing setting.
• Proficiency: Machine setups for production runs.

Why this role matters

Your ability to learn multiple machines, handle materials confidently, and capture accurate data keeps production moving and quality consistent. If you enjoy tangible results and variety in your workday, you’ll thrive here.
