About the role

The Sheet Metal Fabrication Foreman manages the shearing and custom-bending lines that produce the protective enclosure skin of the modular building. This position coordinates machine schedules to supply both high-volume standard panels and unique custom interior and exterior profiles to downstream building lines. The Sheet Metal Fabrication Foreman is accountable for the precision shearing, cutting, bending, and pre-fabrication of both standard and custom interior and exterior building panels. This role ensures a continuous, defect-free supply of custom-formed sheet metal components is ready for downstream assembly in the workshop and construction yard.

Responsibilities

• Direct a specialized team of Sheet Metal Leadmen and machine operators across the manual and CNC hydraulic shear and press brake workstations.
• Program, set up, and operate shears and press brakes to accurately cut and bend heavy-gauge sheet metal into specified high-volume standard dimensions or unique, low-volume custom panel profiles.
• Optimize sheet layouts and blank shearing schedules according to engineering drawings, tracking sheet metal inventory and coil/plate utilization to minimize scrap material.
• Interface with the Design Support Specialist to immediately log any sheet metal gauge variances, bending radius adjustments, or flat-pattern drawing errors found during workshop fabrication.

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on experience running sheet metal fabrication lines, manual shears, and hydraulic press brakes.
• Expert proficiency in calculating sheet metal bend allowances, flat patterns, and blank lengths.
• Experience leading machine operators or sheet metal fabrication tradespeople.
• Direct a specialized team of Sheet Metal Leadmen and machine operators across the manual and CNC hydraulic shear and press brake workstations.

Preferred Experience

• Experience programming and adjusting modern multi-axis CNC press brake software controllers.
• Background fabricating specialized commercial wall siding systems or interlocking panel skins.

Success Measures

• Precision angular consistency and dimensional alignment across all custom-bent wall panels.
• High machine utilization rates coupled with minimized metal coil or plate scrap profiles.
• On-time supply of interior and exterior panel counts to the active assembly crews.
