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 cutting machines, setting up and operating Trumpf press brakes, and performing TIG and resistance/spot welding to produce precision sheet metal components and welded assemblies. The role requires interpreting blueprints, weld symbols, and eDrawings-based work instructions, with an emphasis on self-inspection and maintaining quality standards throughout the fabrication process. The ideal candidate is cross-trained or has deep experience in at least two of the core processes (laser, press brake, welding) and is eager to develop skills in the third. WMS has been manufacturing industrial workspace solutions in Londonderry, New Hampshire since 1950, using domestically sourced steel and fostering 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 loading programs, setting up material, monitoring cut quality, and troubleshooting basic issues.
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 to print, including selecting tooling, programming bend sequences, calculating bend allowances, and verifying first-article dimensions.
Perform TIG welding on steel components and assemblies per drawing specifications, including setup, fitting, tacking, monitoring for warping, and self-inspecting welds.
Operate resistance/spot welding equipment to join steel components and assemblies, including setup using jigs/fixtures and maintaining consistent weld quality.
Cut and process steel tubing to length and specification using a CNC cold saw, ensuring accurate setup and proper handling.
Prepare and assemble parts prior to welding using hand tools, clamps, jigs, and fixtures, and perform finishing operations like grinding and cleaning.
Read and interpret part drawings, work orders, weld symbols, and eDrawings-based work instructions to produce parts conforming 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.
