About The Position

WHO WE ARE SHIELD is a Kansas City-based design and manufacturing company creating world-class products for the world’s best teams and facilities. Our work can be found in the locker rooms of the NBA, NFL, and NCAA’s top programs, and in the nation’s most innovative hospitals and medical centers. From custom athletic lockers to modern healthcare environments, we partner with elite organizations to design, engineer, and build spaces where champions and professionals perform at their best. At SHIELD, craftsmanship meets purpose — and every project is built with pride. SUMMARY We’re looking for a hands-on craftsperson who takes pride in building high-quality, custom products that will be seen and used by some of the most recognizable names in sports and healthcare. As a Fabricator at SHIELD, you’ll be an integral part of our production team, shaping raw materials into finished installations that showcase precision, creativity, and excellence. You’ll work on unique, design-driven projects — not mass production — where no two builds are exactly alike. If you love working with your hands, appreciate quality craftsmanship, and want to be part of a team that builds for champions, this role is for you.

• Strong attention to detail and craftsmanship
• A team-first attitude and reliability
• Willingness to learn, adapt, and grow within a creative manufacturing environment
