Are you the craftsperson we’re looking for?
- Do you read blueprints, sketches, and building plans with confidence and translate them into precise layouts for cylinders, plates, and cones?
- Can you fit, tack, and weld large metal components—inside and out—using SMAW, GTAW, and SAW, and meet the applicable requirements of the American Society of Manufacturing Engineering (ASME) acceptance criteria?
- Are you comfortable setting up automated welding for interior/exterior seams and switching to precision grinding and deburring with handheld tools?
- Do you work safely with overhead lifts per contract guidelines and complete engineering test functions without missing a detail?
- When it’s time to ship, will you wrap and pad, label or stencil crates (destination, weight, product type), add fillers/pads/separators, band crates, verify counts, and close out pack-and-ship Production Orders by cleaning, packing, and tagging components?
What you’ll tackle
- Layout and fitting: cylinders, plates, and cones to drawing and engineering specifications, including developed lengths and angular measurements.
- Welding and finishing: weld/fit per blueprints; weld seams inside large components; grind per spec and prepare interior forgings for stainless-steel coating.
- Automation: set up and monitor automated welding on interior and exterior seams.
- Fabrication details: deburr edges and machined surfaces; cut and manually assemble metal conduit and instrument panel housings on large cones.
- Testing and quality: perform tests per engineering requirements; understand and apply technical and quality assurance manuals; follow welding specifications to earn/maintain production qualifications.
Skills that set you up for success
- High school diploma or GED.
- 3+ years in fabrication or 1+ year in operations.
- Working knowledge of engineering drawings, weld symbols, welding procedures, and dimensional tolerances.
- Proficiency in welding setups for production.
- Qualified in all positions on carbon and stainless steel across at least two processes; demonstrated capability with stainless and carbon plate using SMAW and carbon‑wire GTAW; plus SAW and consumable inserts as directed.
- Comfortable with plasma cutting, carbon arc, oxy‑acetylene burning/cutting, and grinding across specified materials.
