Welder Fabricator

U.S. Sugar is one of the nation’s largest fully integrated producers of sugarcane, a leading provider of fresh vegetables and citrus products, and a regional short‑line railroad operator. Headquartered in Clewiston, Florida, the company farms more than 200,000 acres in Hendry, Glades, Martin, and Palm Beach counties and employs approximately 3,000 people, including many high‑skilled and high‑wage jobs in automated environments.

We produce 650,000–700,000 tons of cane sugar a year, providing nearly 8% of the nation’s sugar production.

Employees are our most valuable asset. When we succeed, our employees succeed. Many have an ownership stake in our privately held business through the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). As we grow, we hire new employees who are knowledgeable, energetic, and committed to keeping us on the cutting‑edge of our industry. We reward them with challenging work, opportunities to learn and grow, competitive compensation, a comprehensive benefits package, and a supportive work environment where safety is our top priority.

This is a day shift position with periodic overtime and/or shift work requirements, reporting to the Facility Maintenance Supervisor. The role involves working independently or in a team with minimal supervision, safely and efficiently welding and fabricating industrial production equipment using advanced cutting, welding, and fabrication techniques.

• Adhere to all company, safety, health, and environmental protocols and regulations.
• Inspect, measure, or test completed metal work pieces to ensure conformance to specifications using appropriate measuring and testing devices.
• Determine material requirements and task sequences.
• Interpret blueprints, work orders, and/or production schedules to determine product or job instructions or specifications.
• Select, position, align, and bolt jigs, holding fixtures, guides, or stops using measuring instruments and hand tools.
• Prepare metal surfaces or work pieces with hand‑operated equipment such as oxy‑acetylene torches, plasma cutters, angle grinders, cutters, drills, and sanders.
• Compute and record information for new work, applying knowledge of metal properties, principles of welding, and shop mathematics as needed.
• Select torch tips, electrodes, or wire according to metal types or thicknesses.
• Design and build fixtures or jigs used to hold parts in place during welding, brazing, or soldering.
• Verify conformance of work pieces to specifications using squares, rulers, measuring tapes, micrometers, contour gauges, and templates.
• Align and fit parts according to specifications using jacks, turnbuckles, wedges, drift pins, pry bars, and hammers.
• Position, align, fit, and weld parts to form complete units or subunits following blueprints and layout specifications.
• Set up and operate fabricating machines such as brakes, rolls, shears, flame cutters, grinders, and drill presses to bend, cut, form, punch, drill, or otherwise shape metal components.
• Remove high spots and cut bevels using portable bevellers, portable grinders, lathes, and cutting torches.
• Mark reference points onto floors or face blocks and transpose them to work pieces using measuring devices, squares, chalk, and soapstone.
• Execute pipe fitting and repair including laying out miters and saddles, fabricating concentric reducers, rolling offsets, live‑line patching, and using two‑hole techniques.
• Locate and mark workpiece bending and cutting lines, allowing for stock thickness, machine and welding shrinkage, and other component specifications.
• Design and construct templates for piping or structural components and fixtures using hand tools.
• Inspect structures, fabrications, assemblies, materials, and similar items to identify causes of errors or defects.
• Analyze information and evaluate results to choose the best solution and solve problems.
• Develop, design, or create new components, ideas, systems, or products, including artistic contributions.
• Basic drafting, laying out, and specifying technical devices, parts, and equipment—providing documentation, detailed instructions, drawings, or specifications to tell others how devices or structures should function.
