T & D Machinist

You Are Not Just Taking a Job - You Are Entering a Calling 

At TSN, the Tool and Die Machinist role exists at the intersection of technical excellence, precision craftsmanship, and manufacturing integrity. We believe this position is not simply about operating machinery or repairing tooling - it is about stewarding equipment, materials, measurements, and processes with skill, safety, accuracy, and purpose. 

We want to say this plainly and without exaggeration: Our commitment to glorify God through our work drives us to invest intentionally in every team member's professional, personal, and intellectual growth - with excellence and purpose. This is not because we promise comfort, but because we intentionally invest in people as whole individuals, honoring the inherent dignity and worth that every person brings to our workplace. 

Who We Are (Why We Exist) 

The Steel Network, Inc. (TSN) is a leading national manufacturer of light steel framing building products. Our state-of-the-art facility is equipped with advanced steel fabrication equipment, including roll-forming equipment, press brakes, lasers, welding equipment, and more. 

TSN’s leadership strives to honor God through the way we serve employees, customers, and the community. Our culture, leadership, and approach to manufacturing excellence are grounded in the conviction that every person is created in the image of God (Imago Dei) and therefore possesses intrinsic dignity, worth, reason, responsibility, and untapped potential. This belief shapes our commitment to treating every employee, customer, vendor, and community member with respect, humility, integrity, and excellence. 

We are unapologetically a People First organization - not as a slogan, but as our operating system. 

Our mission is to deliver high-quality, precision-built steel framing products and manufacturing solutions while building a culture where people have the opportunity to grow and flourish personally, professionally, intellectually, and, where meaningful to them individually, spiritually, with excellence and joy - all for the glory of God and the good of those we serve.
