About The Position

Workplace Modular Systems (WMS) is seeking an experienced Press Room Fabricator to join their Fabrication department. This is a hands-on role responsible for operating Trumpf fiber laser, setting up and running Trumpf press brakes, and performing TIG and resistance/spot welding to meet drawing specifications. The fabricator will work from blueprints, weld symbols, and eDrawings-based work instructions to produce precision sheet metal components and welded assemblies. The ideal candidate is cross-trained in laser, press brake, and welding, or has deep experience in two areas and is eager to learn the third. A strong emphasis is placed on self-inspection and maintaining quality throughout the production process. WMS has been engineering and manufacturing industrial workspace solutions in Londonderry, New Hampshire since 1950, using domestically sourced steel and maintaining a collaborative environment where every team member contributes to the final product.

Requirements

3+ years of hands-on experience in a sheet metal fabrication / press room environment.
Demonstrated proficiency across multiple core processes (laser, press brake, and welding).
Experience operating CNC fiber lasers (Trumpf preferred), including program loading, material setup, cut quality monitoring, and basic troubleshooting.
Working knowledge of bend allowances, tooling selection, and forming sequences.
Hands-on experience with TIG welding on steel and with spot (resistance) welding.
Ability to read and work from part drawings, weld symbols, and CAD-based work instructions.
Strong quality consciousness and self-inspection habits.
Strong attendance, punctuality, and follow-through.
Able to work independently and keep pace with production goals.
High school diploma or equivalent required.

Nice To Haves

Trumpf press brake experience strongly preferred.
eDrawings experience a plus.
Vocational or technical training in welding, machining, or metal fabrication preferred.

Responsibilities

Operate the Trumpf fiber laser to cut sheet metal parts to program specifications, including loading/unloading material, monitoring cut quality, and performing basic machine setup.
Set up and operate Trumpf press brakes to form sheet metal parts according to prints, which involves selecting and installing tooling, programming bend sequences, calculating bend allowances, and verifying first-article dimensions.
Perform TIG welding on steel components and assemblies per drawing specifications, including setting up, fitting, tacking parts, monitoring for warping, and self-inspecting welds.
Operate resistance/spot welding equipment to join steel components and assemblies, including setting up parts with jigs and fixtures, maintaining weld quality, and inspecting fusion results.
Cut and process steel tubing to length and specification using a CNC cold saw, ensuring accurate setup and clean cuts.
Prepare and assemble parts prior to welding using hand tools, clamps, jigs, and fixtures, and perform grinding, cutting, and cleaning operations.
Read and interpret part drawings, work orders, weld symbols, and eDrawings-based work instructions to produce parts that conform to engineering specifications.
Inspect parts and assemblies at each process stage for dimensional accuracy, weld quality, and conformance to specifications, identifying and escalating non-conformances.
Maintain assigned equipment in proper working order and keep work areas clean, organized, and 5S-compliant.
Notify supervision of any tooling wear, machine faults, or material issues.
