Sheet Metal Worker Questions: 1. What products or aerospace components will this individual be building or repairing? • Aerospace and commercial products 2. Is this primarily a fabrication role, assembly role, or a combination of both? • Primary role fabrication role assembly and communication of both 3. Are candidates from other industries (automotive, metal fabrication, HVAC, defense, marine, etc.) considered? • Defense 4. 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
