Job Description

ADM has been in business since 1983, and we're looking to add a Grinder / Finisher to our team. This is a hands-on production role focused on grinding and finishing welded sheet metal parts — but ADM isn't a typical shop. When grinding work is light, you won't be sent home or stuck waiting. You'll step in to help our shipping team get orders out the door, and cross-train into other parts of the shop like PEM insertion, tapping, and light assembly. The right person uses this role as a doorway into the rest of the trade — and there's a real path forward from here if you want it. WHY ADM Over 40 years in business — stable, established, and still growing A real entry point into sheet metal fabrication — we'll train you from day one Exposure to multiple shop processes so you build a broader skill set, not just one Path to grow into welding, machine operation, or other skilled roles as you prove yourself Employer covers 75% of healthcare premium for employee (after 90 days) Simple IRA retirement plan (after 6 months) Paid time off per NJ law and paid company holidays Steady day shift, 7:00 AM-3:30 PM, Monday through Friday Small-shop culture focused on quality workmanship — most of our team has been here for years
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Grind and finish welded sheet metal parts — cleaning up welds, smoothing edges, and prepping parts for the next step Inspect your own work and catch defects before they move down the line When grinding work is light, help the shipping team pack, label, and stage orders for outbound freight Cross-train and pitch in on PEM inserting, tapping, and light assembly as needed Keep your workstation, tools, and PPE in good working order Follow shop safety practices and pitch in wherever the shop needs you
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
No experience required — we'll train you on the grinders and the rest Reliable, on-time, and ready to put in a full day's work Comfortable switching tasks throughout the day — this role isn't the same thing every hour Good attention to detail and willingness to self-check work Able to be on your feet for a full shift and lift up to 50 lbs Reliable commute to Nutley, NJ 07110 (or relocating before start date)
A PATH TO GROW
Grinding and finishing is where a lot of great fabricators start. As you build trust and learn the shop, you'll have the opportunity to cross-train onto welding, machine operation, and other skilled roles. The right person doesn't just leave ADM a better grinder; they leave a better fabricator.
