Job Description

Sheet Metal Fitter–Welder (MIG Fabrication)

Schedule : Weekends, Friday–Sunday, 6:00am–6:30pm

When you clock in Friday morning, you’ll open a set of mechanical drawings, map out weld locations, and plan your sequence so every dimension lands inside tolerance. You’ll fit, tack, and run clean beads on both mild and stainless sheet metal, switching processes and dialing in parameters as needed. Between passes, you’ll verify dimensions, adjust fixtures, and document what you see. You’ll finish by blending, grinding, and buffing to meet appearance specs—then stage your work so the next operations team can keep moving.
