If you’ve been the go-to person on the floor—the one others rely on for setups, troubleshooting, and getting the job done right—this is your next step.

What You’ll Do

· Lead and support a team of fabricators and operators

· Strong knowledge of blueprints, measurements, and shop math 

· Proven ability to coach, train, or lead others on the floor 

· Mechanical aptitude and problem-solving ability 

· Pride in craftsmanship and attention to detail 

Why Wagner?

· Employee-Owned (ESOP) – your work builds your future 

· Opportunity to grow into Supervisor and beyond 

· Stay hands-on while stepping into leadership 

· Stable, custom fabrication work (not repetitive production) 

· Strong team environment and support 

Physical Requirements
