POSITION OVERVIEW
This is a combined, dual-role position. You will operate our rollforming machine during production runs and also assemble the finished steel profiles into wall frames, floor panels, and roof trusses. Both sides of the job are done in our Belleville facility, with occasional travel to job sites within Ontario for on-site assembly support.
No prior rollformer or steel framing experience is required. We provide full hands-on training. What matters most is that you show up reliably, follow instructions carefully, work safely, and take pride in doing a precise, consistent job.
