We're hiring Loader Operators to join a busy metal fabrication operation producing metal roofing, siding, trim, and structural components for large buildings.

You'll do much more than load and unload material. You'll gain hands-on experience with sheet metal, machine operation, material handling, packaging, quality inspection, and production while cross-training throughout the facility.

New to metal fabrication? That's okay. Entry-level candidates who are ready to learn are encouraged to apply!

๐Ÿ”ง WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

This is a hands-on position where your responsibilities can change based on daily production needs.

Depending on production needs, you may learn positions such as:

  • Loader
  • Bundler

If you want a job where you can learn instead of doing the exact same task every day, this could be a great fit.
