Shop Welder–Fabricator, Custom​/One‑Off Projects

About the Role Step into a true job shop environment where every build is different. You’ll take custom, one-off, and short‑run sheet metal and structural projects from print to finished assembly—without the repetitiveness of production welding. If you thrive on variety, problem‑solving, and quality craftsmanship, this is your lane.

A Day in the Shop Review blueprints, weld symbols, and job travelers to plan the build.

Select and prep materials; measure, lay out, and verify tolerances throughout the job.

Fit and tack assemblies, then complete welds—primarily MIG (GMAW) on carbon steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, with TIG (GTAW) as needed.

Grind, clean, and finish welds to meet appearance and structural requirements.

Use standard shop tools (grinders, saws, drills, and more) to support fabrication.

Own your schedule, maintain quality standards, and keep a safe, organized work area.

What You’ll Work OnCustom, non‑repetitive assemblies and short‑run jobs—no fixture‑based production lines.

Sheet metal and structural components fabricated directly from prints.

Projects that may evolve—adapting when prints are incomplete or change midstream.

What You Bring Proven experience in a job shop welding/fabrication setting (not production‑only).Strong MIG (GMAW) welding background across carbon steel, aluminum, and stainless.

Ability to read prints, weld symbols, and travelers without assistance.

Excellent fit‑up, layout, and on‑the‑fly problem‑solving skills.

Reliability, punctuality, and the confidence to work independently with minimal supervision.

Comfort shifting between changing priorities and diverse job types.

Physical ability to lift up to 50 lbs. and stand for extended periods.

Nice to HaveTIG (GTAW) welding experience.

AWS or comparable welding certifications.

Background working from evolving/incomplete drawings.

Experience finishing/grinding for appearance or coating.

Skill Verification Your welding and fabrication capabilities will be assessed during the interview. Applicants must bring their own personal welding gear to complete a hands‑on weld/fabrication test.
