This is not an entry-level welding position. We are looking for skilled welders with at least 8 years of hands‑on welding and fabrication experience who can independently read blueprints, perform advanced shop math, fit and fabricate components, and produce high‑quality welds.

Candidates must have experience welding stainless steel and/or exotic metals and be comfortable working on complex fabrication projects.

• Perform advanced MIG and TIG welding on stainless steel and/or exotic metals.
• Fit, fabricate, weld, and assemble components according to specifications.

• Use advanced shop math, including fractions, decimals, measurements, angles, and dimensional calculations.
• Set up welding equipment and determine appropriate settings for the material and application.
• Use calipers, micrometers, tape measures, squares, and other precision measuring tools.
• Perform accurate fit-up and verify dimensions and tolerances before and after welding.
• Use fabrication equipment, hand and power tools, and plasma cutting equipment as required.
• Inspect completed work for weld quality, dimensional accuracy, fit, and workmanship.
• Troubleshoot fabrication and welding issues and make adjustments as needed.
• Safely operate cranes and material‑handling equipment as required.

• Ability to consistently produce high‑quality welds and fabricated assemblies.

Who Will Be Successful Here?

This role is a strong fit for a seasoned welder/fabricator who can do more than make production welds. We're looking for someone who can read a complex print, calculate dimensions, plan the fabrication process, fit components, MIG/TIG weld stainless steel or exotic metals, verify the finished product, and take ownership of quality from start to finish.
