Job Title: Sheet Metal Fabricator / Press Brake Operator

Location: Glendale Heights, IL

Job Type: Full-Time

Schedule: 4x10 shifts (Monday – Thursday) with occasional half-day overtime on Fridays. Enjoy a 3-day weekend!

Compensation: [$22.00 -$29.00 per hour], based on experience

About Us: We are a premier manufacturer and fabricator of custom architectural sheet metal and exterior wall systems. We produce high-quality metal products for commercial and architectural applications using fabrication equipment in our Glendale Heights shop.

The Role: We are looking for a reliable, motivated Sheet Metal Fabricator to join our shop floor. This is a dedicated, in-shop position focused on metal fabrication — no field work or installation.

Experience with architectural sheet metal is a plus but not required. If you have solid experience operating sheet-metal fabrication equipment (especially press brakes), we are happy to train the right person on our specific processes and products.

Key Responsibilities:

• Set up, adjust, and operate press brakes, shears, roll formers, and folders.
• Cut, bend, form, and shape sheet metal accurately and efficiently according to production needs and drawings.
• Handle materials carefully to prevent scratches, dents, or damage.
• Perform basic quality checks and maintain consistent output.
• Keep a clean, organized, and safe work area in compliance with shop safety standards.

Qualifications:

• Previous experience operating standard sheet-metal fabrication equipment (press brakes strongly preferred). Architectural sheet-metal experience is not required.
• Basic welding experience is preferred but not mandatory.
• Ability to read a tape measure, perform basic math, and follow drawings or work instructions.
• Physical ability to safely lift up to 50 lbs, stand for extended periods, and perform active shop work.

Strong work ethic, reliable attendance, and willingness to learn.

Benefits:

• Health Insurance
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid Time Off (PTO)
• Paid holidays
• Consistent 4-day workweek (Monday–Thursday) with occasional Friday overtime opportunities
