If you take pride in precision, craftsmanship, and building quality products the first time, we'd like to hear from you.

• Operate fabrication equipment including saws, drill presses, grinders, presses, welding fixtures, and other shop machinery.

• Inspect completed assemblies for weld quality, fit, and compliance with drawings.

• Identify and correct fit-up issues before welding to minimize scrap and rework.

• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area.

• Work efficiently while maintaining a strong commitment to quality and teamwork.

Qualifications

• Minimum 4 years of fabrication and MIG welding experience in a manufacturing environment.

• Ability to lift materials, stand for extended periods, and work safely in a manufacturing environment.

• AWS Welding Certification is preferred but not required for experienced candidates.
