• Work safely at heights, including on scissor lifts, scaffolding, and in tight or confined spaces when required.
• Operate grinders, torches, saws, and other fabrication tools to cut, prep, and finish metal components.
• Perform grinding and finishing work to ensure welds and fabricated parts meet visual and dimensional standards.

• Collaborate with project managers, foremen, installers, and other trades to coordinate work on active jobsites.
• Follow all safety protocols, including hot‑work permits, use of personal protective equipment, and machine guard procedures.
• Maintain tools and equipment in good working order and keep the work area clean, organized, and safe.
• Assist with installations once projects are welded and fabricated, including loading, transporting, and setting components in place.
• Travel to various job sites as needed, typically within a two‑hour commute, and meet at the shop in time to arrive on site by early morning start times.
• Support a small‑shop environment by contributing to general shop tasks and helping coworkers as workload demands shift.

Essential Skills

• 1–2 years of field welding experience with MIG and Stick welding required.
• Proficiency in MIG welding, including experience with structural steel and preferably miscellaneous metals.
• Strong Stick welding skills, including vertical and out‑of‑position welding in the field.
• Ability to perform vertical, overhead, and other out‑of‑position welds with consistent quality.
