About The Position

We are seeking a skilled Sanitary Tank and Vessel Fabricator to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for reading and interpreting complex engineering blueprints, P&IDs, and isometric drawings to accurately lay out, cut, form, and fit components for food-grade processing vessels. You will perform continuous, full-penetration GTAW (TIG) and GMAW (MIG) welding on 304 and 316L stainless steel sheet metal, plate, pipe, and sanitary tube. The ideal candidate must be able to pass an ASME weld test in GTAW and GMAW. Responsibilities also include smoothing seams, edges, and surfaces to meet clean, high-grade aesthetic and structural finishes, and utilizing strong mathematical skills for calculating custom dimensions, head layout, and complex cylinder layouts.
