Prototype Sheet Metal & Structural Welder‑Fitter (GMAW/GTAW)

Starflex Precision Manufacturing

Job Description

Job Description

Why This Role

Not a production line. Not repetitive. This is custom, short‑run, and one‑off fabrication. You will own projects end‑to‑end—fitting, welding, and finishing unique assemblies with minimal supervision.

Role Snapshot
  • Primary process: MIG (GMAW) on carbon steel, aluminum, and stainless.
  • TIG (GTAW) when required; TIG capability is a strong plus.
  • Fabricate from prints: sheet metal and structural components.
  • Read/interpret blueprints, weld symbols, and job travelers.
  • Measure, lay out, verify dimensions and tolerances throughout the build.
  • Grind/clean welds to meet visual and structural specs.
  • Operate standard shop tools: grinders, saws, drills, etc.
  • Hit safety, quality, and scheduling targets; keep the work area organized.
Required Background
  • Hands‑on job shop welding/fabrication experience (not a production‑only background).
  • Advanced MIG welding across multiple materials (carbon steel, aluminum, stainless).
  • Independent print and weld symbol interpretation.
  • Strong fit‑up, layout, and problem‑solving capability.
  • Comfort with changing priorities and diverse builds.
  • Reliable, punctual, able to work with minimal oversight.
  • Lift up to 50 lbs.; stand for long periods.
Preferred Extras
  • TIG experience (GTAW).
  • AWS or similar welding certifications.
  • Experience working from incomplete/evolving drawings.
  • Finishing/grinding for appearance or coating requirements.
Assessment & Equipment

Expect a practical welding/fabrication test during the interview. Please bring your personal welding gear for the hands‑on assessment.

Technical Proficiencies
  • GD&T
  • Tape measure mastery
  • Setting up welding for production‑grade consistency
  • Blueprint reading
Shop Technology
  • MIG Welder
  • TIG Welder
  • 2D Drawings
Fit for You?

If you prefer tackling unique builds instead of repeating the same weld all day, this role offers the variety and autonomy you’re after—plus the satisfaction of seeing a custom job through from first fit to final finish.
