Shop Foreman

Founded in 1986 and located in Middlesex NJ, BAMCO inc. is an award-winning industry leader in the design, manufacture and erection of building envelope systems servicing the architectural, developer and general contracting communities.  We specialize in engineering, custom fabrication, bending, routing, welding and finishing in all types of metals from aluminum, galvanized and stainless to the exotics with a focus on safety, green initiatives and Lean Kaizen principles throughout.  Our primary markets are pharmaceutical, health care, industrial, institutional and high-rise office and residential in the northeast corridor for installation and we service all 48 states with design and fabrication offerings as well.  BAMCO is a 100% employee-owned company (ESOP) that prides itself with an unparalleled commitment to excellence for our customers, our company and all our stakeholders.

We are seeking an experienced Working Shop Foreman to lead a busy, high-skill fabrication shop. This role is highly hands-on, leading approximately 50 shop employees while reporting directly to the Production Manager.  

BAMCO is a specialty metals fabricator. Experience running sheet metal or fabrication crew is ideal, but strong foremen from woodworking, stone fabrication, or custom job shops can transition successfully if they understand how a shop runs and aren’t uncomfortable to lead from the floor.

This is not a desk job. We need someone who knows fabrication, knows people, and knows how to keep work moving.
