Metal Fabrication Production Technician

Step Into a Day on the Shop Floor

Picture this: It’s 6:00 AM in Houston, MN. You clock in with a tight-knit team at a growing metal manufacturer, placed by Express Employment Professionals. By mid-morning you’re dialing in a punch press, measuring and cutting parts to spec, and lending a hand on the paint and industrial coating line. The afternoon wraps with palletizing finished goods and a final quality check before you head out at 4:20 PM—leaving long weekends to enjoy.
