You'll play a key role in supporting the fabrication team by ensuring materials are prepared accurately, efficiently and safely while maintaining the highest quality standards.

You may also be required to provide occasional support at other company sites as operational needs require.

Key Responsibilities

• Operate CNC band saws, drill lines, coping machines and laser cutting machines.
