Fabricate sheet metal structures, ductwork, and other metal components following AWS (American Welding Society) standards and safety protocols. Perform assembly tasks on construction sites or in fabrication shops, including the use of cranes and other lifting equipment for heavy components. Conduct quality inspections using calipers, micrometers, and measuring instruments to verify dimensions and tolerances. Maintain a clean, safe work environment by adhering to safety procedures and protocols at all times. Experience Proven construction site experience with a strong understanding of metal fabrication processes. Hands-on experience with welding techniques such as MIG, TIG, FCAW, SMAW, GMAW, and plasma cutting. Ability to read and interpret blueprints, technical drawings, and mechanical blueprints accurately. Familiarity with shop math, measuring instruments like calipers and micrometers, and basic math skills necessary for precise fabrication. Knowledge of safety protocols related to welding, heavy lifting with cranes, power tools, and working in industrial environments. Previous experience working in fabrication shops or manufacturing facilities specializing in metal materials or sheet metal fabrication is highly desirable. Mechanical knowledge combined with the ability to interpret technical specifications ensures high-quality assembly work. Join our team if you're passionate about craftsmanship in metal fabrication! Bring your expertise in welding, measurement tools, blueprint reading, and construction experience to help us build durable structures that stand the test of time—all while working in a supportive environment committed to safety excellence!
