Job Description

Build what protects our world

CECO Environmental and its Kemco Systems brand design and deliver solutions that help customers conserve water, reduce emissions, and extend equipment life. We’re seeking a seasoned sheet metal fitter/welder to turn prints into high-performing components that support a safer, cleaner future.

Why this role stands out

• Hands-on fabrication across cutting, forming, fit-up, welding, and assembly.
• End-to-end ownership—set up the press brake, roll plate from 20 ga to 1/4", shear to minimize scrap, and finish to exacting tolerances.
• Perform MIG welding on stainless and carbon steel from 20 ga up to 3/8" plate.
• Form specialty parts: pressed elbows, gorelocked elbows, collars, sleeves, tee branches, reducers, and more.
• Enter and work within tanks via an 18" round manway; frequent climbs in/out using ladders and similar access equipment. Candidates must be comfortable in confined spaces (no claustrophobia).

Core responsibilities

• Read/interpret blueprints and assembly documentation.
• Apply shop math (fractions/decimals) and use precision measuring/layout tools including tape measures, levels, and squares.
• Operate hydraulic press brake and plate rolls; operate shear with optimal cut planning.
• Inspect, assemble, smooth seams/joints, and complete repairs as needed.
• Perform other assigned tasks supporting production goals.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED required; Trade/Technical School preferred.
• 5+ years in sheet metal fabrication (20 ga to 3/8" thickness).
• Mechanical aptitude; punctual, self-motivated, and dependable.
• Comfortable working independently and within a diverse, collaborative team.
• Proficient in reading prints/procedures; experienced with standard measuring tools.

Preferred

• Graduate of a welding school (e.g., PTECH).
• Welding certifications.
