Manufacturing Fabrication Lead
A Manufacturing Fabrication Lead is the go-to person on the shop floor who ensures that metal parts and components are fabricated accurately, efficiently, and safely. Think of them as the bridge between the engineering plans and the team that brings those plans to life.
Here’s what their role typically involves:
Overseeing fabrication operations: They manage daily tasks like cutting, bending, and assembling metal parts, ensuring everything aligns with production schedules.
Leading the team: They supervise fabricators and material handlers, assign tasks, and make sure everyone follows safety and quality standards.
Setting up equipment: From saws to tube benders, they ensure machines are properly set up and operators know how to use them safely and effectively.
Quality control: They inspect parts, verify setups, and ensure all work meets specifications before moving to the next stage.
Inventory and tooling management: They track consumables, report equipment issues, and coordinate with engineering for tooling needs.
Safety enforcement: They make sure all team members wear proper PPE and follow safety protocols to prevent accidents.
In short, they’re part technician, part coach, and part quality enforcer.
