Work at DMF

We hire people who show up on time, work safely around machines, and take pride in a part that fits. Experience on the floor helps, and so does a willingness to learn from someone who has been doing this a while.

Working here

  • Mon–Fri day shift

    Shop hours are 7:00am–4:00pm.

  • Shop-floor work

    Laser, press brake, welding, assembly, and fitting. Real fabrication, not a warehouse pick line.

  • Training on the job

    Trade experience helps, but we care more about showing up ready to learn and working safely around moving equipment.

  • Straight answers

    Pay range, schedule, and role expectations are discussed up front, before you invest time in a shop visit.

  • Safety first

    PPE required on the floor. No shortcuts around machines, lifts, or hot work.
