Overtime opportunities are available and may occasionally be required depending on workload.

This doesn't have to be just another shop job.

J&K manufactures custom stainless steel products and commercial kitchen equipment, giving employees the opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects instead of doing the exact same repetitive task every day.

We believe in cross-training employees and developing skills from within. Someone who starts in polishing or general shop work can develop additional fabrication skills and become more valuable as their experience grows.

If you're dependable, mechanically inclined, take pride in your work, and want an opportunity to learn a skilled trade and build a career in metal fabrication , we want to hear from you.
