Welder-Fabricator Architectural

Job Description

Custom Architectural Welder & Fabricator – Premium Stairs, Railings & Metalwork

Location: Nashville, TN Area

Pay: $25–$40/hr based on experience (with overtime + skill-based bonuses – consistent full-time hours available!)

We're growing! With a brand-new shop expansion underway, we're adding
** 2–3 more talented team members
** to handle our increasing volume of high-end, showcase-quality projects. Think stunning floating staircases, elegant spiral and mono-stringer designs, sleek glass and cable railings, ornate metal railings, and one-of-a-kind architectural metal features for luxury residences and upscale commercial builds.

• Perform precise MIG welding (short-arc and spray) on mild steel, stainless, and aluminum for railings, stringers, and custom pieces
• Assemble, fit, tack, and complete weldments using detailed blueprints or shop drawings
• Grind, smooth, and prepare surfaces for flawless powder coat or mirror-polish finishes
• Layout and build intricate angles, curves, radii, and complex geometries for stairs and railings
• Run essential shop machinery: shear, press brake, ironworker, band saws, and standard fab tools
• Handle occasional site visits for measurements, deliveries, or installs (field/construction background is a bonus)

• Solid track record in custom or architectural welding/fabrication (experience with stairs & railings is a big plus)
• Clean, high-quality MIG beads on steel; stainless and aluminum a big plus – consistency matters
• Confident blueprint reading and precise layout for challenging angles and measurements
• Dependable, focused on details, professional attitude, and strong work ethic (show up on time, ready every day)

• TIG experience on stainless or aluminum and other exotic metals
• Deep understanding of stair design – floating systems, mono-stringers, complex geometry
• Real-world install experience (we handle our own field installs)
• Woodworking knowledge or ability to assemble metal/wood treads – we run an in-house wood shop, so if you're primarily a welder but open to helping out with wood tasks during slower fab periods, that's perfect too!
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) – ¡Hablamos español y damos la bienvenida a todos!

• Top-tier competitive pay, direct deposit on a weekly basis
• Paid holidays (after 90 days)
• 1 week paid vacation (after 1 year)
• Steady, year-round work with no seasonal slowdowns
• Team-oriented shop that values quality craftsmanship and pride in every project

Not fully at senior/lead level yet? No problem – we're also bringing on
** fitters, finishers/grinders, install assistants, and wood shop helpers**. Please mention “Helper/Entry-Level Position” when you apply.
