Start Your Career in Metal Fabrication and Manufacturing
If you enjoy working with your hands, learning fabrication skills, and building things in a professional manufacturing environment, this is a great opportunity to start your career in metal fabrication.
At LACO Technologies, you’ll work in our metal fabrication shop supporting the production of stainless-steel components used in advanced vacuum and leak testing systems for some of the most innovative companies in the world — including customers like SpaceX, NASA, Apple, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman.
This is an entry-level fabrication role, ideal for candidates with metal shop experience, fabrication training, or welding school
who want to gain hands-on experience in a modern manufacturing environment.
While welding experience is a plus, this role primarily focuses on metal fabrication, finishing, and shop support rather than production welding.
