About the Role
CAM Industrial Solutions is seeking a Journeyperson Sheet Metal Worker experienced in cleanroom/semiconductor environments. The company aims for excellence and seeks individuals who share that drive, take pride in their work, and thrive in a collaborative, high-performance environment. Candidates passionate about continuous improvement, teamwork, and making a meaningful impact are encouraged to apply. This role involves fabricating, installing, and maintaining sheet metal ductwork, air handling, and cleanroom enclosures for ultra-clean (high purity) airflow, chemical air distribution, and exhaust systems in semiconductor plants. The Journeyperson will work under Foreman/General Foreman guidance, collaborating with QA/QC, commissioning, and other trades to meet project specifications, timelines, and quality expectations.
Responsibilities
- Read, interpret, and follow blueprints, shop and field drawings, 2D/3D models (isometrics) for cleanroom duct, air handling, and enclosure systems.
- Fabricate, assemble, install, and seal sheet metal ductwork, plenums, transitions, boots, and cleanroom enclosures using welding, riveting, sealing, and structural framing.
- Perform high-precision layout, cutting, bending, forming, and finishing of sheet metal components to meet cleanliness, tolerance, and airflow performance, including SMACNA/SEMI standards.
- Ensure installation meets cleanroom classification requirements, such as minimal leaks, smooth airflow, and minimized particle generation.
- Carry out inspections, leak testing, sealing, QA checks, and participate in turn-over documentation, including as-builts and fabrication logs.
- Perform daily safety checks, toolbox talks, Job Safety Analyses (JSAs), and conform to strict safety and cleanroom protocols (PPE, suit-up, gowning).
- Collaborate with other trades, site management, and clients to coordinate installations, manage interferences, and maintain schedule integrity.

- Must wear cleanroom PPE (bunny suits, gloves, masks, etc.) and adhere to gowning/protocol.
- Physically demanding work, including lifting, bending, climbing, working at heights, and overhead work.
- Frequent walking across site.
- Exposure to noise, sometimes heat/cold depending on shop vs field.
Skills
- Strong ability to read blueprints, isometric/3D models, HVAC/ductwork layouts.
- Knowledge of SMACNA, SEMI (if relevant), NFPA, OSHA safety standards.
