Blueprint Fitter/Welder, Custom Fabrication

Role Snapshot

• Location: Pevely, MO
• Schedule: Full-Time
• Pay: $20.00–$25.00/hour, depending on experience

Own end-to-end fabrication work—reading prints, laying out parts, fitting structural tubing, and welding unique assemblies. This is not repetitive production welding; every build demands problem-solving and precision.

Why This Role

• Build complete assemblies from individual cut materials using detailed drawings.
• Exercise independence—work from prints with limited supervision.
• Apply craftsmanship: fit-up, alignment, and squareness are central to success.
• Variety of projects—no same weld, same part, all day.

What You’ll Do

• Interpret fabrication drawings, blueprints, and measurements.
• Lay out and assemble structural tubing and fabricated components.
• Fit multiple sections together and perform welds to create finished assemblies.
• Measure, align, and square components before and during welding.
• Verify dimensions/fit at every stage; adjust to meet specifications.
• Keep an orderly, safe work area.

Must-Haves

• Previous welding and/or metal fabrication experience.
• Experience fitting and assembling structural or fabricated components.
• Ability to read and work confidently from blueprints/fabrication prints.
• Accurate tape measure skills and solid basic shop math.
• Ability to visualize how pieces come together as a finished assembly.
• Knowledge of fit-up, alignment, and maintaining squareness.
• Comfort with structural tubing and similar materials.
• Quality-first approach suited to non-repetitive, custom builds.

Great Fits Typically Come From

• Welder/Fabricator, Fitter/Welder, Structural Fabricator, Fabrication Welder, Welding Assembler roles.
• Custom fabrication, structural fabrication, equipment manufacturing, or environments where welders build full assemblies from prints.

What Makes It Different

You won’t be stuck on a single weld or part. You’ll bring drawings to life—transforming raw materials into completed, spec-accurate welded assemblies from start to finish.
