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.

- 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.
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
- Basic computer navigation and utilization skills
- Experience in architectural metals, custom manufacturing, or job-shop environments
- Certification in welding or fabrication technology
- 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.
