About & Careers


Build the structure. Own part of the company.

Janicki is family and employee owned, so what you build here is partly yours. Aerospace and defense programs depend on our tools and composite structures, often with no other supplier. We are 2,500 people in Washington and Utah, with a new campus rising in Great Falls, Montana. Growth means room to advance, and we’re hiring across production, skilled trades, engineering, program finance, IT, HR, supply chain and finance.

The company


Still owned by the people whose name is on the building.

Janicki team around a finished part

Janicki Industries was founded in 1993 by Peter and Susan Janicki in Sedro-Woolley, Washington; Peter's brother John and his wife Katy joined in 1994. The company grew by taking the jobs other shops turned down and building them at rate, year after year. That reputation is now four product lines: aerostructures, aerospace tooling, munitions and marine.

All four are still here, and their children work in the business. Ownership stays with the family and extends to employees through an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP).

That is why the company can build eleven mills one at a time, commit $800 million to Great Falls and sign up for a program's full production life. Decisions are made in Sedro-Woolley.

Everything we build is built in the United States, for the American warfighter and its Allies.

Why people work here


The work goes somewhere.

Most manufacturing careers are one operation on one part. Here a structure goes from raw stock to shipped hardware, and then to a flight line.

What you build

Bombers, fighters, drones, missiles, spacecraft and submarines.

You own a piece of it

Employees hold ESOP shares alongside the founding family, at no cost to them. When the company does well, they share in it.

Machines you cannot run anywhere else

Eleven proprietary 5-axis mills, among the world's largest. Mill 11 is 80 feet long and there is one of it.

Grow without leaving

Trainee to machinist to programmer to engineer; buyer to planner to program manager; aerostructures to tooling to munitions to marine.

Programs that last

As sole-source Tier 1 supplier on a range of platforms, the work runs for the life of the program, which on current platforms means decades.

Three places to live

Skagit Valley an hour north of Seattle; Layton on the Wasatch Front next to Hill Air Force Base; Great Falls on the Missouri River.

How we train


We hire amazing people and train them to be extraordinary.

An experienced technician mentoring a newer one on a fixture

Nobody arrives knowing how to hold ±0.005 in over a hundred feet or lay up a bomber structure to spec. Those standards are taught here, on production hardware, by the people who hold them every day.

Mentorship from the first day. Every new hire is paired with someone who has done the job for years, and held to the customer's standard from the first week.

Hands on before production. Onboarding runs through a dedicated training space where engineers and technicians work real tools, materials and machines before touching a production part.

Promotion from within. People move from trainee to machinist to programmer to engineer, from buyer to planner to program manager, and between product lines without changing employers. Most of the people who run this company came up through it.

Tuition reimbursement. Janicki pays for the education that moves you forward: a trade certification, an engineering degree, an MBA, a new machine qualification.

The specifications, taught. AS9100, Nadcap, ITAR and the customer's specifications are how the work is done here, and every person is trained to them before touching a part or a purchase order.

Eligibility. Some positions involve access to items or technical data controlled under U.S. export laws (ITAR/EAR); each posting says whether it does. For those positions Janicki must confirm whether an export authorization is needed before access is granted. Some programs also require a U.S. government security clearance. Janicki is an equal opportunity employer and does not make hiring decisions based on citizenship or immigration status except where required by law or government contract.

Veterans


If you served, you already know this hardware. Come build it. Veterans are about 10% of the Janicki workforce. Janicki is an authorized DoD SkillBridge organization and a YesVets employer, and was recognized by the U.S. Navy as an Outstanding Civilian Employer in 2025.

Aircraft maintainers, machinist's mates, structural mechanics, ordnance technicians, Seabees: the skills transfer directly to layup, assembly, machining, NDT and quality. Clearance-eligible candidates are especially welcome.

Layton sits next to Hill Air Force Base; Sedro-Woolley and Hamilton are an hour from NAS Whidbey Island and Naval Station Everett; Great Falls is home to Malmstrom Air Force Base.
