## Description

**Overview**

We are seeking a skilled **Welder/Fabricator** to join our manufacturing team. In this role, you will fabricate high-end metal details, complex weldments, and architectural facade products. This is a custom manufacturing environment, not a repetitive assembly line. You will work from blueprints and engineering drawings, weld a variety of materials—specifically Steel, Aluminum, and Stainless—and ensure every piece meets rigorous aesthetic and structural standards. We are looking for hands-on builders who bring a strong work ethic to the floor and enjoy the challenge of creating visible, high-impact work.

Profiles encouraged to apply include: experienced metal fabricators, custom job-shop welders, structural fitters, architectural metalworkers, and detail-oriented tradespeople who enjoy the challenge of working with different metals and complex geometries.

**Compensation**

-   $27 - $38 / hr
-   Shift differential on 2nd and weekend

**Shift**

-   2nd shift: 4pm-4:30am M-Th
-   Weekend shift: 5am-5pm F-Sun

**Benefits**

-   Health, vision, dental
-   401(k) + match
-   PTO

**Responsibilities:**

-   **Execute Precision MIG & TIG Welding** – Perform high-quality MIG and TIG welding on Aluminum, Stainless Steel, and Carbon Steel. You must be able to adapt to a variety of thicknesses and positions to meet the visual and structural requirements of architectural work.
-   **Fabricate Architectural Metals & Facades** – Interpret engineering drawings, weld symbols, bills of materials, and diagrams to accurately layout, fit, and fabricate complex architectural weldments and facade components.
-   **Ensure High-End Finish Quality** – Because much of our work is visible (architectural), you must produce clean welds and utilize grinders/finish tools to meet strict aesthetic specifications.
-   **Operate Fabrication Tools and Equipment** – Utilize handheld tools (grinders, weld stud guns) and heavy machinery (forklifts, overhead cranes) to manipulate large metal components safely and efficiently.
-   **Perform In-Process Quality Inspections** – Use calipers, weld gauges, tape measures, and other precision tools to verify geometric accuracy; identify defects early and rework as needed to meet specifications.
-   **Maintain Equipment and Work Area** – Perform preventative maintenance on weld machines, create specific setups/fixtures for unique builds, and keep the workspace clean and safe.
-   **Model Professional Shop Behavior** – Work effectively in a team environment, respect all teammates, and demonstrate self-motivation and high attention to detail.

## Requirements

**Required**

-   High School Diploma or GED
-   3-5 years of experience as a metal fabricator
-   Strong proficiency in **MIG and TIG welding** (must have experience with Steel, Aluminum, and Stainless)
-   Ability to read and interpret blueprints, weld symbols, and technical instructions
-   Physical ability to lift 30-50 lbs regularly and perform repetitive tasks/manual dexterity work
-   Ability to operate a forklift and overhead crane

**Preferred Skills**

-   Basic computer navigation and utilization skills
-   Experience in architectural metals, custom manufacturing, or job-shop environments
-   Certification in welding or fabrication technology

**The Ideal Candidate**

-   **Versatile Material Specialist** – You are comfortable switching between MIG and TIG and working with different metals (Steel, Aluminum, Stainless) without dropping quality.
-   **Architectural Eye** – You understand that in facade work, the finish matters. You take pride in clean beads and precise fit-up.
-   **Blueprint-Driven Builder** – You can translate complex weld symbols and drawings into clean, accurate assemblies and catch dimensional issues before they become rework.
-   **Reliable Team Player** – You bring energy to the floor, communicate clearly with management, and respect the safety and workflow of your fellow teammates.
