Job Description

Step Into a Build-from-Print Role

Join a fast-moving steel-fabrication team serving structural, industrial, oil & gas, bridge, and specialty builds. From the first layout line to final weld, you will turn drawings into finished steel components and assemblies.

A Day in the Shop

You start at the layout table, reading shop drawings and weld symbols, marking cut lines, and fitting components. You set up for MIG welding and, when the job calls for it, switch to flux-core. You move between beams, plates, stairs, platforms, and miscellaneous steel, grinding, cutting, and tacking to spec. You collaborate with engineering when a detail needs clarification, verify weld quality, and rework when required. You wrap by cleaning your area and staging the next build.

Core Responsibilities

  • Perform MIG welding (and occasional flux-core) on structural steel, plates, beams, stairs, platforms, and miscellaneous steel
  • Read and interpret blueprints, shop drawings, and weld symbols to plan layout and sequence
  • Fit, lay out, tack, and weld parts to meet specifications and tolerances
  • Operate grinders, cutting torches, saws, and other common fabrication tools
  • Inspect welds, uphold quality standards, and complete any necessary rework
  • Keep a clean, safe, and organized work area
  • Assist with rigging, material handling, and general shop support when needed
  • Partner with engineering/design teams to resolve fabrication or welding challenges

What You Bring

  • Proven experience as a MIG or structural welder/fabricator
  • Fluency in reading blueprints and welding symbols
  • Strong layout, tacking, and finish welding capability
  • Knowledge of steel types, welding processes, and weld quality standards
  • Comfort using hand and power tools common to metal fabrication
  • High attention to detail, safety-first mindset, and willingness to learn
  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • AWS certification is a plus (not required)
  • Ability to lift, bend, and stand for extended periods

If you enjoy building tangible results from clear drawings and take pride in precise, clean welds, you will feel at home here.
