Job 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.

Benefits

  • Health insurance
  • 401(k) matching
  • Paid time off
  • Vision insurance
  • Dental insurance
  • Life insurance
  • Employee assistance program
  • Disability insurance
