Job Description
Journeyman Welder / Fabricator
About Us
We are a custom fabrication shop specializing in design, machining, welding, and material processing. We build everything from simple structures to complex assemblies. We’re a small, hands-on team that values problem solvers who take initiative and pride in their work.
The Role
You’ll take projects from drawings to finished parts, with a primary focus on welding and fabrication. You must be a skilled fabricator with the ability to fit and weld out jobs of any size. This is not a machine operator role — you’ll be building, problem-solving, and adapting.
We’re a dynamic shop, so while welding will be your main responsibility, some days you’ll jump in wherever needed. A positive attitude and willingness to take on any task, big or small, is essential.

• Flux Cored CWB-certified welder
• Proficient in MIG, Metal Core, and Flux-core welding

• Strong understanding of welding symbols, tolerances, and materials
• Experience fitting, tacking, and welding assemblies
• Able to work independently and solve problems on the floor
• Team player who thrives in a small, fast-moving shop
• Enthusiastic about both learning and teaching
Nice-to-Have Assets
• Experience with machining or forming equipment (mills, press brakes, saws, etc.)
• Background in custom fabrication (not just production welding)
• Entrepreneurial mindset — willing to take initiative and go the extra mile
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
