We are seeking candidates with experience in CNC machine operation, Beck Automation, sheet metal fabrication, metal roofing/trim production, press brakes, folders, roll forming, or other computer-controlled manufacturing equipment.
Direct Beck Automation experience is highly desirable but NOT required. If you have CNC or automated machine experience and understand machine setup, measurements, computerized controls, and production processes, we want to talk to you.
The company is willing to train the right mechanically inclined candidate. Starting pay is based on experience and the amount of training required.

PAY & ADVANCEMENT
$18.00–$25.00/hr DOE + Overtime
Candidates with direct CNC, Beck Automation, automated fabrication, or metal forming experience may qualify toward the upper end of the starting range.
Successful 90-day evaluation = $2.00/hr raise, with additional $2.00–$3.00/hr advancement potential as proficiency and responsibilities increase.
BENEFITS
•Paid Holidays & Vacation
•Medical & Dental Insurance
•Life Insurance
•SIMPLE IRA With Company Match
•Profit Sharing
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced CNC or machine operator to transfer their skills into specialized automated fabrication — or for someone with direct metal roofing/trim equipment experience to step into a role where that knowledge is highly valued.
