Aerotek metal finisher job description

Employees will start out working on an assembly line, learning the products that the company makes. This might involve doing simple mechanical assembly. As they become proficient in certain processes along the line, they will cross train. They will also work in grinding, where they will actually hold a hand grinder and smooth out rough edges, or polish the metal to a nice finish. They may cross train in basic fabrication, cutting sheets of metal to length, which would require the use of a tape measure. If they have the aptitude or previous experience, they may do a little spot welding, which holds the sheet metal in place, while they do the assembly. They may have the opportunity to cross train into MIG welding, but no employee their welds full time, so they will need to understand that rotating around the production line is the job.
