A Production Fabricator or Assembler constructs and assembles a wide range of products, such as engines, computers, aircraft, ships, boats, toys, electronic devices, and control panels, as well as the individual parts that make up these products.
You'll fit and weld custom stairs and railing to print — clean, strong, code-compliant welds on steel, stainless, and aluminum — turning cut parts into finished pieces our customers are proud to install. As Welding Fabricator, you're the hands that build what we sell. You'll work directly with our shop manager (Alberto) and the rest of the fabrication team to take fitted parts from the cut list to a finished, weld-inspected assembly, on schedule and to spec.
