If you are a metal fabrication professional who is tired of dealing with seasonal manufacturing layoffs, erratic shop schedules, or rigid corporate red tape, this direct-hire role is built for you. We are a premier, highly stable custom sheet metal manufacturer that proudly designs, builds, and ships our very own catalog of proprietary products. Because we own the process from raw design to final build, we are completely insulated from single-contract market volatility—giving our team a highly diversified customer base and a guaranteed, rock-solid baseline of work year-round.

We operate a genuinely family-oriented, team-focused fabrication floor where operators are treated with respect, paid competitively, and given the freedom to manage their tasks. We don't believe in burn-out culture, which is why our entire production facility runs on a standard 4-day work week (Monday through Thursday, 10-hour shifts). This gives you a permanent 3-day weekend every single week to spend with your family, hunt, fish, or just relax. If you want a long-term career home with a stable management team that actively invests in your future—including full tuition reimbursement—this is your spot.

What You Will Be Doing

• Setting up, adjusting, and operating precision press brake machinery to form high-quality custom sheet metal components to exact technical specs
• Reading and translating detailed engineering drawings, structural blueprints, and job travelers to calculate bend sequences and material flat dimensions accurately
• Selecting appropriate tooling, checking machine parameters, and executing first-piece and run inspections to minimize material scrap and maintain high tolerances
• Operating material handling equipment—including industrial forklifts and overhead bridge cranes—to safely transport heavy metal plate and components across fabrication cells
• Collaborating actively with our welding and assembly teams to maintain an efficient, high-quality, and clean manufacturing workflow

What We Are Looking For

• Forming Background: At least 1 year of proven, hands-on experience independently setting up and running industrial press brakes or heavy metal forming machinery.
• Drawing Interpretation: A strong foundational ability to read technical engineering blueprints and follow manufacturing routing sheets accurately.
• Material Handling Competence: Previous exposure to operating forklifts or overhead rigging systems is a major plus (we will provide full onsite safety certifications).
• Professional Reliability: A rock-solid, stable, and dependable employment history that shows you value staying with a company and helping a team win.
• Local Commute: Permanent residency located within a comfortable, daily 45-minute driving radius of the Greater Green Bay, WI area.
