Questions: • What products or aerospace components will this individual be building or repairing? • Aerospace and commercial products • Is this primarily a fabrication role, assembly role, or a combination of both? • Primary role fabrication role assembly and communication of both • Are candidates from other industries (automotive, metal fabrication, HVAC, defense, marine, etc.) considered? Defense • If you could only choose one qualification, would you rather hire someone with aerospace sheet metal experience or someone with strong fabrication and blueprint-reading skills who can learn the aerospace environment? • Someone with strong fabrication and blueprint-reading skills • Sets up and operates machines such as drill presses, punch presses, shears, bending rolls, brakes, grinders and numerical control equipment to shape and alter sheetmetal according to specifications. • Follows blueprints, rough sketches or engineer drawings to shape metal accurately.
• Question: Are candidates required to interpret engineering drawings independently? • Preferable independently Candidates required to interpret engineering drawing • Uses hand and power tools to shape and smooth metal and to blend seams. • Question: What precision measuring tools are used regularly? Calibers • May set up and operate soldering and welding equipment. • May require a high school diploma or its equivalent with 2-4 years of experience in the field or in a related area. • Question: Could a candidate with less experience but strong technical aptitude be considered? YES
• Has knowledge of commonly-used concepts, practices, and procedures within a particular field. • Relies on instructions and pre-established guidelines to perform the functions of the job. • Works under immediate supervision. • Primary job functions do not typically require exercising independent judgment. • Typically reports to a supervisor or manager.
Special Considerations: • Lifting will exceed 30 Lbs. and/or repetitions of this or lesser weights will be significant. • Exposure to substantial machine, chemical, biological or other physical risks are anticipated. • Sets up and operates machines such as drill presses, punch presses, shears, bending rolls, brakes, grinders and numerical control equipment to shape and alter sheetmetal according to specifications. • Follows blueprints, rough sketches or engineer drawings to shape metal accurately. • Uses hand and power tools to shape and smooth metal and to blend seams. • May set up and operate soldering and welding equipment.
