Our Team.

First Coast Metalworks is built around a hands-on team that genuinely cares about the work and the people behind it. Our shop is made up of problem solvers, fabricators, and builders who take pride in turning ideas into something real. We work closely with founders, engineers, and project teams to refine designs, overcome challenges, and deliver parts and products that perform in the real world. From early prototypes to short and mid-size production runs, our people show up every day focused on quality, communication, and keeping manufacturing strong here on the First Coast.
