Sheet metal preparers select the required raw material, transport it to their workstation and prepare it for subsequent production stages (handling, cleaning, grinding, etc.). They assist the various workstations related to metal parts production (oxygen fuel cutting, shearing, folding, piercing, etc.) or finishing (polishing, plating, painting). This is a trade that requires meticulousness and manual skills. A job as a sheet metal materials preparer is suitable for people with good physical stamina and good eyesight.
