We source the skilled trades and operations leaders — welders, CNC machinists, production supervisors, and plant managers — who run metal forming, stamping, and fabrication operations.
Metal fabrication and job-shop manufacturing runs on people, not automation — skilled welders, machinists, and the supervisors who keep a high-mix floor moving. Margins are tight, quoting is competitive, and the difference between a profitable shop and a struggling one is usually the quality of the workforce and the people leading it.
The hiring challenge is the skilled-trades shortage. Experienced welders, CNC machinists, and fabrication supervisors are genuinely hard to find, and the strong ones know their value. At the same time, fabrication leadership — estimators, GMs, and operations managers who understand custom, low-volume work — is its own scarce skill set.
We recruit fabrication from the floor to the front office — sourcing skilled trades, supervisors, plant leaders, estimators, and engineers who understand high-mix, made-to-order work. You get people who can actually run a fabrication operation, not generalists who've only seen high-volume.
From the weld booth to the front office, we recruit the people who run job shops and fabrication operations.
Welders, CNC machinists, press-brake operators, and fabricators for demanding shops.
Production and shop supervisors who run the floor, the schedule, and the people.
Plant managers and operations leaders for fabrication and machining operations.
Process and manufacturing engineers who improve throughput and quality.
GMs, estimators, and sales leaders who win and deliver fabrication work.
Understands custom, low-volume fabrication — not just high-volume repetitive production.
For skilled roles, genuine welding, machining, or fabrication skill verified through the process.
Supervisors and managers who run a shop, develop trades, and hit ship dates.
For leadership roles, understands estimating and how a shop actually makes money.
Can attract and keep skilled trades in a tight labor market.
Fabrication comp ranges widely by role — skilled trades and supervisors $60K–$100K, plant managers and operations leaders $100K–$160K, with estimators and GMs scaled to shop size. We benchmark to your operation and region.
Both — welders, CNC machinists, and fabricators through supervisors, plant managers, estimators, and GMs. We cover the whole fabrication organization.
Yes — custom, made-to-order fabrication is different from high-volume production, and we screen specifically for that experience.
Yes — the skilled-trades shortage is exactly why a proactive, relationship-driven search beats a job posting. Reaching and attracting trades talent is part of what we do.
Skilled trades and supervisors $60K–$100K, plant and operations leaders $100K–$160K, with estimators and GMs scaled to shop size. We benchmark to your operation.
Most close in 30–60 days; senior leadership can run longer. We give you a realistic timeline.
Both, depending on the role and how critical it is.
