Job Description
We're Hiring: Sheet Metal Fabricators (Entry-Level to Foreman)
Location: Norristown, PA | Pay Range: $15-$40/hour | Full-Time
At O'Donnell Metal Fabricators, we're more than a job shop-we're a small team of problem-solvers who take pride in precision, quality, and craftsmanship. With fewer than 20 employees, we run lean, fast, and focused. Everyone here counts, and no one's work goes unnoticed.
We don't do red tape. We don't punch clocks. We build real things with real value-and we invest in people who want to grow.
Position Summary:
We're hiring Sheet Metal Fabricators and shop team members across five levels-from entry-level trainees to seasoned foremen. Whether you're new to the trade or have years under your belt, this is the place to build skills, take ownership, and do work that actually means something.
We're not here for clock-punchers or corner-cutters. We want A-players who take pride in their craft and thrive in a team that moves fast and sets the bar high.
Who We're Looking For:
We're hiring across the following levels:
Entry-Level Shop Helper / Trainee ($15-$20/hr)
New to the trade. You're dependable, hands-on, and ready to learn. We'll teach you the tools and the trade-just bring the attitude.
Level 1 - Apprentice ($21-$25/hr)
Mechanically inclined and serious about a future in fabrication. You're learning layout, welding, and equipment under guidance.
Level 2 - Intermediate ($26-$30/hr)
2-4 years of experience. You've run shop machinery, done layout and MIG welding, and you're building consistency and confidence.
Level 3 - Junior Foreman ($31-$35/hr)
4-6 years of experience. You know the job inside and out and are starting to lead others while maintaining high-quality output.
Level 4 - Foreman ($36-$40/hr)
7+ years in the trade. You lead by example, run jobs, train the team, and ensure the shop hits deadlines and quality benchmarks.
What You'll Do (Based on Level):
Operate brake presses, shears, layout tools, welders (TIG/MIG/Stick/Laser)
Read and execute work orders, blueprints, and technical drawings
Support and/or lead production jobs
Train up or mentor down-depending on where you are
Take ownership of quality, safety, and production flow
What You Need:
High school diploma or equivalent
Valid driver's license
A no-nonsense work ethic and attention to detail
Ability to follow directions, think ahead, and improve continuously
Fabrication experience (required for Levels 2-4; not required for Entry/Level 1)
Compensation & Benefits:
Competitive pay: $15-$40/hour depending on level and experience
Paid Time Off (PTO) + Paid Holidays
Health Insurance and Retirement Plan
Full-time hours with consistent workflow
Advancement opportunities at every level-from shop helper to foreman
Working Conditions & Physical Demands:
This position operates in a fabrication shop environment. While performing the duties of this job, the employee is regularly exposed to moving machinery, metalworking tools, airborne particles, heat, and noise associated with fabrication equipment. Proper PPE (personal protective equipment) is provided and required.
Expect to:
Stand, walk, and bend for extended periods
Lift and handle materials up to 50 lbs
Use hand/power tools and operate shop equipment
Follow safety procedures and wear PPE at all times
Step Up. Show Up. Stand Out.
This is not the place to hide. It's the place to grow. If you're ready to bring your best, get better every day, and earn your spot through hard work-apply now. Join a team that respects skill, rewards effort, and builds things that last!
O'Donnell Metal Fabricators is an equal opportunity employer. We believe skill, grit, and character matter more than background. If you're ready to contribute, we're ready to invest in you!
