Storefront and/or curtainwall fabrication experience is strongly preferred.

The ideal candidate will have:

Strong understanding of commercial glazing and aluminum framing components
Ability to read and work from architectural drawings, shop drawings, and fabrication details
Experience reading measurements accurately and working with tight tolerances
Experience using fabrication equipment and common shop tools

Strong attention to detail and quality
Ability to recognize problems before material is fabricated incorrectly
Ability to lead by example and help less-experienced fabricators improve their skills

Lead-Level Experience

We're not simply looking for someone who can operate a saw.

We're looking for a fabricator who understands how the complete system goes together and can take ownership of fabrication quality.

A strong candidate should be able to receive drawings and materials, understand what needs to be produced, organize the fabrication sequence, verify dimensions, catch potential issues, and deliver accurate finished assemblies to the next stage of production or installation.

Experience with major commercial aluminum storefront or curtainwall systems is a plus.
