Ready to be part of something bigger?

We’re hiring motivated, hands-on individuals to join the Forming Team at AT&F, where you’ll help build components for some of the largest, most advanced equipment in the world—including projects that support the U.S. Navy’s submarine program. This is a Direct Hire opportunity with long-term growth, strong pay, and a team-first culture.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Work with large-scale press brakes and rolling equipment
• Assist in forming heavy steel components for major industrial and defense projects
• Use tools like hand grinders and measuring equipment
• Read and learn blueprints and specifications
• Operate in a team-driven, high-performance manufacturing environment

Who We’re Looking For:

• This role is less about your exact background—and more about who you are.

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Show up ready to work hard—physically and mentally—all day
• Do what you say you’ll do (safety, quality, follow-through)
• Put the team before ego
• Are self-driven and don’t need to be micromanaged
• Take initiative and run toward problems—not away from them
• Want to learn, grow, and help others do the same

Skills That Set You Up for Success:

• Comfortable with basic math and fractions
• Able to read a tape measure accurately (down to 1/16”)
• Interested in learning blueprint reading
• Comfortable working in a heavy manufacturing environment
• Hot in summer / cooler in winter
• Material moved by overhead cranes (not manual lifting)
• Experience in press brake, CNC, or metal fabrication is a plus—but not required.

Why This Career?

• Work on massive, one-of-a-kind equipment
• Be part of projects that matter on a national level
• Strong team culture—people look out for each other
• Real opportunity to build a long-term career

If you’re someone who takes pride in your work, shows up ready to go, and wants to be part of something meaningful—this is your shot.
