Shop Laborer/Helper/Grinder

$20 - $23 per hour

JGM

Position Overview


JGM is seeking a Shop Laborer / Helper who will play a hands-on role supporting daily fabrication shop operations. This position plays a key role in material movement, surface preparation (including sandblasting), and general shop support.

This position is ideal for individuals looking to transition into a skilled trade career . Whether you are coming from another industry or looking to build a long-term path in construction and manufacturing, this role provides exposure to welding, fitting, fabrication, and equipment operation within a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.

At JGM, many of our skilled craftsmen came from roles as farm workers, general laborers, landscapers and started roles just like this-learning the business from the ground up.

What You'll Do


  • Assist with material handling using overhead cranes, forklifts, and other equipment
  • Support surface preparation, including heavy grinding, and sandblasting steel components for coating and finishing
  • Prepare and finish steel surfaces. You will operate abrasive blasting equipment to remove rust, scale, and old coatings, ensuring surfaces meet specifications
  • Clean and prepare materials for fabrication, welding, and painting
  • Maintain shop organization, including staging materials and keeping work areas clean and safe
  • Assist skilled trades (welders, fitters, operators) with daily tasks and setup
  • Learn to read basic drawings and understand material flow in a fabrication environment
  • Follow all safety procedures and PPE requirements in a heavy industrial setting
  • Support loading/unloading of trucks and movement of structural steel
What We're Looking For
  • Strong work ethic and willingness to work in a physically demanding environment
  • Someone who is not afraid to do the grinding and prepping of material as a main part of their role.
  • Interest in learning a skilled trade (welding, fabrication, fitting, or equipment operation)
  • Ability to follow directions and work as part of a team
  • Reliable attendance and commitment to early start times
  • Comfortable working in a shop environment (dust, noise, heavy materials)
Work Schedule
  • Monday - Friday
  • Hours: 5:00 AM - 3:30 PM
  • Overtime on hours worked after 40.
Physical Requirements & Work Environment
  • Ability to lift and/or move up to 100 pounds safely
  • Stand, walk, reach, bend, and use hands for extended periods
  • Work in an industrial shop environment with exposure to noise, dust, fumes, and vibration
  • Required use of PPE, including respirators, gloves, eye protection, hearing protection, and steel-toe footwear
  • Ability to safely operate equipment and machinery when properly trained
JGM offers a competitive wage and benefits package:


Benefits and Perks
  • Competitive hourly pay (Starting at $20-$23 depending on related experience)
  • Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance
  • PTO & Paid Holidays
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Life Insurance
  • Short- & Long-Term Disability
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Generous employee referral program
  • Training and continuing education
Additional perks for Coatesville and Sinking Spring shop employees
  • Daily snack & drink allowance
  • Annual safety boot allowance (on-site truck visit)
  • Annual prescription safety glasses program
  • Lunch provided every other Friday
Who Thrives Here
  • Craftsmen who want more than a job-a career building America
  • Team players who want to grow skills, earnings, and leadership



This job description is subject to change based on the needs of the business and is not all-inclusive.


JGM is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment decisions are made without regard to race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, protected veteran status, or other characteristics protected by law.
