Location: Grand Prairie, TX

Schedule: 4x10s (Mon–Thurs) + optional overtime

Pay: $18–$24/hr (based on experience)

About the Role

We are a billboard manufacturing shop building large structural steel assemblies that are shipped and installed nationwide. We’re looking for a fitter/fabricator to support our welding team by preparing, aligning, and assembling components before welding. This role is critical to production quality. A good fitter ensures everything is square, aligned, and ready—so welders can execute clean, consistent welds.

What You’ll Do

· Read and interpret shop drawings

· Measure, mark, and lay out steel components accurately

· Fit and align structural assemblies (frames, columns, catwalks, supports)

· Tack weld components in preparation for final welding (if capable)

· Use tools such as:

o Tape measure, square, levels

o Grinders and cutting tools

o Torch (oxy-fuel) for cutting and adjustment

· Set up assemblies to minimize distortion during welding

· Work closely with welders to ensure proper fit-up and sequencing

· Verify dimensions and tolerances before welding begins

· Help move and position materials using shop equipment

What We’re Looking For

· Experience in fabrication, fitting, or general metalwork (2+ years preferred)

· Strong measuring and layout skills

· Ability to read and work from shop drawings

· Experience using grinders, torches, and fabrication tools

· Understanding of how fit-up affects weld quality

· Ability to lift 75 lbs and work on your feet

Nice to Have:

· Basic welding experience (MIG, flux core. Pipe, beam, angle or tack welding)

· Experience with structural steel assemblies

· Experience working in a fabrication or manufacturing shop (iron worker, hydraulic punch, magnetic drill, etc)

Work Environment

· Indoor fabrication shop (unconditioned, with airflow)

· Heavy steel assemblies and active production floor

· Team-oriented environment with a focus on quality and accountability

Growth Opportunity

This role is a strong path into:

· Welding (if desired)

· Lead fitter / fabrication lead

· Production leadership roles
