Structural Steel Fabricator

$25 - $31 per hour

Goodwin Recruiting

This role is for experienced fabricators who take ownership of layout, fit-up, and final quality. You’ll work directly from structural and industrial steel prints, make judgment calls on the floor, and fabricate assemblies with minimal supervision. If you’re comfortable being accountable for accuracy from print to finished product, this will feel like home.

Structural Steel Fabricator Benefits and Compensation:

  • $25–$31/hour
  • Day shift: 7:00 AM – 3:30 PM, Monday–Friday
  • Health & Dental Insurance
  • Paid Time Off
  • PPE reimbursement
  • Paid training opportunities for advancement
  • Stable, long-term opportunity in a safety-driven shop

Structural Steel Fabricator Requirements & Qualifications:

  • 4 years of structural or industrial steel fabrication experience
  • Demonstrated ability to fabricate directly from paper prints (36x24) without step-by-step direction
  • Strong command of fabrication layout, fit-up, and dimensional verification
  • Proficiency with FCAW, GMAW, and SMAW processes
  • Ability to read and apply AWS weld symbols, bolt callouts, elevations, and connection details
  • Consistent self-inspection and quality accountability
  • Valid driver’s license
  • Welding certification (or willingness to obtain)
  • OSHA 10 (or willingness to obtain)

Must haves:

  • Independently lay out beams, plates, and structural connections from prints
  • Verify dimensions and identify print conflicts before welding
  • Make real-time decisions on fit-up, sequence, and weld approach
  • Mark up or redline drawings to reflect corrections or clarifications
  • Perform structural welding, grinding, finishing, and paint assist as needed
  • Safely handle material using cranes, hoists, and forklifts
  • Maintain a disciplined, safety-first work area

Structural Steel Fabricator Preferred Background & Skills:

  • Structural steel shop experience with complex assemblies
  • Comfort working from architectural drawings converted to steel fabrication prints
  • Experience with flame cutting and material prep
  • Strong judgment on when something is “technically acceptable” vs. “actually right”
  • Steady work history with a production-focused mindset
