Job Description

We are seeking a skilled Welder and Fabricator to join a clean, well-organized machine and fabrication shop. In this role, you will take pre-fabricated pieces and weld them into sub-assemblies that are ready for painting. These sub-assemblies range from standard items, welded with the help of fixtures and jigs, to unique products built directly from prints. You will set up and operate a MIG welder, read and interpret blueprints, and fabricate components efficiently and accurately.

• Receive project assignments and project packages containing prints and pre-fabricated parts needed to weld sub-assemblies.
• Review and interpret blueprints and project documentation to understand weld and fabrication requirements.
• Cut large sheets, plates, or structural pieces to size using an acetylene torch and then grind cut edges with a hand-held electric grinder.
• Pull standard parts from inventory within the plant as needed to complete each sub-assembly.
• Place weldments on horses for welding, ensuring proper support and positioning.
• Clamp pieces together, check their position and squareness, and perform spot welds to hold components in place.
• Reconfirm the position and squareness of parts, grinding off welds and repositioning components when necessary to achieve correct alignment.
• Position, tack, and fit pieces together into final sub-assemblies and complete finished welding according to specifications.
• Spend significant time grinding edges and welds on exposed surfaces to achieve smooth, high-quality finishes.
• Use overhead cranes or forklifts as needed to lift and position large sub-assemblies safely on horses.
• Prepare completed sub-assemblies so they are ready for painting and further processing.
• Maintain a clean and organized work area and follow all shop safety procedures and guidelines.

• Hands-on experience with MIG welding in a fabrication or shop environment.
• Strong fabrication skills, including fitting, tacking, and assembling metal components.
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and weld symbols accurately.
• Proficiency in grinding welds and edges to achieve smooth, finished surfaces.
• Ability to follow detailed project instructions and work packages from start to completion.
• Capability to safely handle and position metal components on horses for welding.

• Experience using an acetylene torch to cut large sheets, plates, or structural materials.
• Proficiency with hand-held electric grinders for edge preparation and finishing.
• Experience operating overhead cranes and forklifts to lift and position large sub-assemblies.
• Comfort working from fixtures and jigs as well as directly from prints for unique weld-from-print products.
• Ability to work a structured 1st shift schedule with four 10-hour days.

You will join a very clean, well-maintained fabrication environment with a strong, supportive culture in the welding department. The team is stable and experienced, with an average employee tenure of around 15 years on the floor, reflecting long-term opportunities and a workplace where people choose to stay. You can enjoy working in a growing organization that values quality, craftsmanship, and a positive shop atmosphere.

The role is based in a very clean machine and fabrication shop that emphasizes organization, safety, and quality. You will work on 1st shift only, following a schedule of four 10-hour shifts from 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, with a 30-minute unpaid lunch and two 15-minute breaks.
