Metal Fabrication Careers in Greater Sudbury

In the trades, the work speaks for itself. But the environment where you do that work matters just as much. At S2 Metal Fabricators, we’ve created a place where respect, rhythm, and reliability come together. Whether you’re welding structural frames or prepping a quick custom job, you deserve a shop that values your skill and backs you up every step of the way. We want our team to build solid careers in Greater Sudbury, where we call it our home.

This is what that looks like.

Why Tradespeople Choose, and Stay With, S2

Many tradespeople are looking for more than just a paycheque. They want to build their careers in Greater Sudbury. They want steady hours, clear expectations, and a crew they can count on. At S2, that’s exactly what we offer. Our jobs are local and consistent. Our leadership communicates clearly. And our shop runs on mutual respect, from management to the floor.

We’ve been part of Sudbury’s industrial sector for over 25 years. Over time, we’ve built a reputation for doing things the right way. That includes taking care of the people who make it all possible, our team.

We also believe that a positive environment matters. That’s why you’ll always hear music playing on the floor. It keeps the pace steady and the energy up. It’s one of those small things that makes a big difference in how the day feels.

What It’s Like to Work at S2

When you come to work here, you can expect steady, local projects that keep your schedule full and your workday predictable. We keep our equipment in good condition and our shop organized, which means fewer delays and more efficient builds.

Our General Manager, Jeff Crump, started in the trades. He knows what it’s like to work under pressure and how important it is to have leadership that listens. You won’t be rushed to cut corners or pushed into unsafe situations. We work smart, communicate early, and finish strong.

We keep things professional, but not stiff. The environment is focused, but friendly. When people show up and do good work, they’re recognized for it. When they need support, they get it. That’s the kind of culture we’ve built, and we work hard to protect it.

A Day in the Life at S2

Your day starts with a quick review of the job board and a look over your drawings. With music in the background and your tools ready, you head into the job with focus. Maybe you’re cutting on the CNC plasma table or prepping parts for weld-out. Either way, you know what needs to be done and how to do it.

By mid-morning, you’re locked into the rhythm of the shop. The work is steady, the job is clear, and the crew around you is doing the same. When lunch rolls around, you sit down with your team. The conversation is easy and the energy is good. You’re working hard, but you’re in a place that makes the effort feel worthwhile.

In the afternoon, you might shift to assembly or final welding. Every step is handled with care, and when you tag your work for QA, you know it’ll pass. Before you leave, you check in with your lead, tidy your space, and know that tomorrow is already lined up.

What We Look For

We’re looking for tradespeople who take pride in their work, show up on time, and stay focused throughout the day. We value people who care about quality, follow drawings with precision, and work safely alongside others. It’s not about how many jobs you’ve done, it’s about how seriously you take the one in front of you.

If you’re dependable, detail-oriented, and ready to contribute to a team that runs on trust, you’ll do well here.

What You’ll Find at S2

When you work at S2, you’ll find a shop that values consistency and care. You’ll find a crew that supports each other and takes pride in every build. And you’ll find leadership that believes in planning ahead, listening to feedback, and treating tradespeople with the respect they’ve earned.

It’s not fancy. It’s not flashy. But it’s honest work with a team that shows up every day and gets the job done right.
