You will join a stable, long-tenured team where many employees have built 20-30 year careers, reflecting a culture that genuinely values and supports its people. The company offers solid starting pay, standard benefits, paid time off, and additional details on insurance, retirement plans, and paid holidays during the interview process. This is a contract-to-hire opportunity that provides a clear path to long-term employment and growth as the organization continues to expand and plans for additional shifts.

Job Description Operate press brake and/or laser machines as a working operator, running and overseeing the machine while it is in use. Serve as the lead point of contact on second shift for routine issues and questions, helping resolve smaller problems so they do not escalate. Support basic administrative and shift coordination tasks such as assisting with clocking in and out, organizing break schedules, and managing urgent emails and material issues. Keep the team on task and productive throughout the shift, providing general oversight and guidance to other shift operators and product generalists. Perform production operations related to cutting and forming metal materials including stainless steel, aluminum, and galvanized steel.
