About The Position

We are hiring Welders / Fabricators for a precision industrial equipment manufacturer that builds custom equipment for the construction and utilities industries. The work takes place in a climate-controlled, high-mix, low-volume manufacturing facility and involves a wide variety of metal components and assemblies. The role covers fabrication from start to finish, including blueprint reading, layout, fit-up, tack welding, final weld-out, grinding, and finishing. Welders use MIG and Flux-Core processes, with occasional TIG welding, and produce accurate, high-quality assemblies to specified dimensions and tolerances. The position is on the weekend shift: Friday through Sunday, 6:00 AM–6:00 PM. Compensation is listed as $30–$35 per hour total, including a 15% shift differential, with a base rate of $26–$30 per hour. The posting also offers a $4,000 sign-on bonus, profit sharing, rapid raises, and opportunities to advance fabrication skills.

Hands-on fabrication experience, including layout, fit-up, and tack welding.
Ability to read and work independently from blueprints and weld symbols.
Ability to weld in multiple positions, including vertical (3G).
Proficiency with tape measures, fractions, decimals, and basic shop math.
Ability to maintain accurate dimensions and tolerances during fabrication.
Consistent, reliable attendance and attention to quality.
Ability to demonstrate welding and technical skills during the hiring process.

Responsibilities

Lay out, align, fit, and tack metal components into assemblies using blueprints, measurements, and fixtures.
Perform MIG (GMAW) and Flux-Core (FCAW) welding across varied parts and configurations, with occasional TIG welding.
Read and interpret fabrication drawings, weld symbols, dimensions, and technical specifications.
Complete assemblies from initial layout and fit-up through final welding, grinding, and finishing.
Use tape measures, squares, calipers, and other measuring tools to maintain dimensional accuracy, including tolerances as tight as 1/32 inch.
Inspect fit-up, weld quality, and finished assemblies to ensure work meets specifications.
Safely operate welding and fabrication equipment while maintaining quality and production standards.
