About The Position

The Manifold Fabricator manufactures, assembles, and tests standard and custom pressure vessels, gas manifolds, and vaporizers using aluminum, stainless steel, and carbon steel pipe and plate. The role requires high-integrity TIG (GTAW) welding with zero-defect tolerances because the systems are designed to contain pressurized gases. The ideal candidate has strong blueprint proficiency, extensive experience with pressure-retaining components, and a strong commitment to safety and quality workmanship.

Requirements

• Two to four years of TIG welding and fabrication experience, specifically with pressure vessels, piping networks, or gas distribution manifolds.
• Strong proficiency in TIG (GTAW) welding on aluminum and stainless steel.
• Strong mathematical and measurement skills, including the ability to read standard inches, fractions, and scale weights, and differentiate metal grades.
• Ability to lift up to 50+ pounds, stoop, crouch, kneel, and perform high-precision welds from restricted or awkward angles.
• Commitment to safety and quality workmanship.

Nice To Haves

• Basic familiarity with MIG (GMAW) welding for skid frames and chassis structures.
• Overhead crane certification.
• Forklift training; in-house training is provided if necessary.

Responsibilities

• Execute x-ray quality TIG (GTAW) welds on aluminum and stainless steel pipe, plate, and tube manifold assemblies.
• Clean, purge, cut, bevel, and fit up pipe joints and valves to exact configurations before welding to create leak-free seals.
• Read and follow drawings, blueprints, and weld procedure specifications (WPS) to fabricate manifold tubing systems.
• Create and use shop jigs to align and secure valves, bull plugs, and hardware into tube bushing manifolds during fabrication.
• Visually inspect completed welds and assist with pneumatic or hydrostatic pressure testing to verify structural containment integrity.
• Safely use grinders, small hand tools, tube cutters, overhead cranes, and material handling equipment.
• Follow OSHA safety protocols for gas containment, ventilation, and workspace cleanliness.
