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 On

• Custom, 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 Have

• TIG (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.

Core Proficiencies

• GD&T
• Accurate tape measure reading
• Welding setups for production‑style repeatability
• Blueprint reading

Tools & Technologies

• MIG Welder
• TIG Welder
• 2D Drawings

If you’re energized by variety and take pride in craftsmanship, you’ll feel right at home here—building something different every day.
