We manufacture metal roofing, siding, and custom metal products for the construction industry.

We're a close-knit team that takes pride in doing quality work, meeting deadlines, and supporting one another. Our shop can be fast-paced, especially during our busy season, so we're looking for people who are dependable, mechanically inclined, safety-conscious, and ready to contribute.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with solid shop fundamentals who wants to learn new skills and grow with a company.

safe operating procedures, and PPE requirements without exception.

- Previous employment in manufacturing, metal fabrication, construction,



or industrial shops.
- Experience loading and securing materials on flatbed trucks.
- Mechanical aptitude and experience working with industrial equipment.
- Experience with metal roofing, siding, or sheet metal products.

Who We're Looking For We're not simply looking for someone to move materials around the shop. We want two motivated individuals who can become valuable, versatile members of our team.

- Take pride in their work and pay attention to details.

- Stay productive and focused when deadlines are tight.
