Welder/fabricator

Job Title: Welder / Fabricator

Job Description

This role offers the opportunity to work as a welder/fabricator in a small, hands-on shop environment, producing a wide variety of custom metal components rather than repetitive assembly-line work. You will use your welding, fabrication, and blueprint reading skills to manufacture finished metal products to precise specifications while contributing to a close-knit, collaborative team.

Responsibilities

• Manufacture and fabricate finished metal products to meet customer and project specifications.

• Interpret and follow engineering blueprints and schematics to ensure accuracy of each project.

• Create a wide range of custom pieces, including both high-volume runs of a single part and small batches of many different SKUs.

• Perform more than simple production or assembly-line welding by adapting to varied and custom fabrication needs.

• Calculate and verify material measurements to ensure all components meet required dimensions and tolerances.

• Use MIG welding techniques and appropriate welding tools to produce high-quality welds.

• Fit and assemble metal components using hand tools, power tools, and measuring devices such as tape measures.

• Inspect completed work to confirm it meets quality standards and blueprint specifications.

• Collaborate with experienced welder/fabricators to solve fabrication challenges and continuously improve processes.

Essential Skills

• Proficiency with MIG welding processes and welding tools.

• Strong ability to read and interpret blueprints.

• Hands-on fabrication experience, including fitting and assembly of metal components.

• Ability to accurately read and use a tape measure and other measuring tools.

• Capability to calculate and verify material measurements against specifications.

Why Work Here?

You will join a small, close-knit team where you can learn directly from highly experienced welder/fabricators and expand your skills beyond basic production work. The environment encourages growth, continuous learning, and hands-on experience with a wide variety of custom projects.

Work Environment

This position is based in a small, non–temperature-controlled shop environment. You will work on 1st shift, Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The team operates as a close group, collaborating closely on custom fabrication projects in a practical, hands-on setting.
