Structural Sheet Metal Fabricator, Data Center Enclosures

$22 - $28 per hour

Aegis Manufacturing & Engineering

Job Description

Job Description

Your Craft. Our Mission. Critical Infrastructure.

Location: Itasca, IL
Compensation: $22–$28/hr (up to $30/hr based on experience) + significant overtime
Schedule: 1st Shift | 5:00 AM – 4:30 PM (typical), Saturdays as needed
Employment: Contract-to-Hire with strong long-term potential

Picture this: a complex, custom enclosure destined for a high-profile data center. Sheet metal panels must marry a structural frame within a fraction of a millimeter. You review the latest blueprint revision, prep your materials, and guide an overhead crane to position the assembly. Your MIG welds are clean, accurate, and consistent—because the integrity of a critical system depends on them. That’s the standard here.

About the Work
  • Build custom industrial enclosures for large-scale data center infrastructure
  • Own the process end-to-end: layout → fit-up → weld → assembly
  • Interpret complex mechanical drawings for large assemblies
  • Hold tight tolerances using tape measures, calipers, and micrometers
  • Operate saws, grinders, drills, and overhead cranes safely
  • Validate alignment and structural integrity before sign-off
What You’ll Need
  • 3–5+ years of welding/fabrication (non-production environment preferred)
  • Advanced blueprint reading skills
  • MIG required; TIG is a plus
  • Mechanical assembly experience (highly preferred)
  • Comfort working overtime when projects ramp (up to 60–65 hrs/week)
Why Join This Team
  • Not a production line—your craftsmanship truly matters
  • Company is surging from ~$30M to ~$80M+ in active orders
  • Confidential, well-established manufacturer with 100+ years of stability
  • Facility expansion, capability investments, and weekly headcount growth
  • Mix of indoor and outdoor work across dynamic projects
  • High likelihood of conversion; many contractors stay well beyond 6 months
What You Gain
  • Consistent overtime and strong earning potential
  • Exposure to large-scale, custom engineering programs with global tech leaders
  • A platform to grow alongside an organization in a major expansion phase
Interview
  • One-step onsite interview
  • Fast feedback—typically within 48 hours

Bring your precision, pride, and builder’s mindset. Help us deliver the enclosures that safeguard the world’s data.
