Role and Responsibilities
As a Qualified Metalworker (Metallbauer EFZ) at Leichtmetallbau AG in Rapperswil-Jona, you will work on custom metal construction projects made from steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. At LMB, you will not encounter monotonous serial production. Instead, you will manufacture and install diverse structures such as railings, stairs, doors, gates, canopies, and customer-specific bespoke fabrications.
Depending on the order, you will accompany projects from in-house workshop production to on-site assembly. This means you will not just execute isolated steps, but experience firsthand how a drawing transforms into a finished metal structure.
Your Tasks as a Qualified Metalworker
You will manufacture metal structures based on workshop drawings, plans, and parts lists. Your daily tasks include:
Cutting, drilling, grinding, and straightening metal components
Welding and assembling structures
Processing steel, aluminum, and stainless steel
Preparing components for surface treatment
Installing manufactured structures on-site
Inspecting dimensions, functionality, and execution quality
Early identification and reporting of ambiguities or deviations
You work meticulously, safely, and with a strong awareness of quality. At the same time, you ensure the responsible handling of machinery, tools, vehicles, and materials.
At LMB, Your Ideas Matter
At Leichtmetallbau AG, you are not expected to merely execute instructions. You are given substantial room for autonomy and can actively contribute your professional experience to projects.
If you see a better technical solution, a more sensible execution method, or an opportunity to streamline a workflow, you can and should voice your idea. Your suggestions will be evaluated jointly with project management, the engineering team, and the crew.
Your practical knowledge from the workshop and installation sites is taken seriously at LMB, because great metal construction projects are created where planning and hands-on experience work together hand in hand.
Collaboration and Responsibility
You will work closely with our metal construction designers, project managers, workshop staff, and assembly technicians. Short communication channels allow technical questions to be clarified quickly and solutions to be implemented directly.
You take ownership of the quality of your work and help ensure that our metal construction projects are executed precisely, safely, and on schedule. You will receive the necessary support to carry out your tasks independently and reliably.
What Awaits You at Leichtmetallbau AG
In addition to diverse metal construction projects, LMB offers clear daily advantages:
Early weekend start on Fridays at 12:20 PM within a 40-hour work week
High degree of autonomy in your tasks and projects
Your ideas are heard and discussed collaboratively within the team
Varied work spanning both workshop production and on-site installation
Clear workflows and minimized unnecessary friction
Support for your professional development and continuing education
5 weeks of vacation for thorough recovery
Company vehicle provided for installation technicians
Objective of the Position
Your objective as a qualified metalworker at Leichtmetallbau AG is to manufacture high-quality, durable metal structures and install them professionally.

With us, you get the opportunity to take on responsibility, develop your professional skills, and contribute to metal construction work you can be proud of at the end of the day.
